In reply to the discussion: I'm trying to reduce how much meat I eat. One problem: meat cravings. [View all]wordpix
(18,652 posts)29. your idea of the expensive grass-fed meat is good on a number of fronts
First, it's better for the animal being raised. Second the cost is very expensive and I've found I eat a lot less of it, e.g a 1/2 lb. steak can last 2-3 meals/person. Third, it tastes much better (ditto free range chicken) than factory farmed and I'm sure it's healthier for you. As for the chicken, I usually cook for my elderly mother and myself, and a whole chicken can last us 5-6 meals (I usually put some of the cooked chicken in the freezer).
So you win in a lot of ways with the better meats and don't eat much of it at any one sitting.

Meat is slightly addictive, just like sugar, chocolate, caffeine, and cheese.
