I am have fun digging through all of your recipes. I'd like to try making the taco meat. How many pounds of ground beef should I use for the ingredients you listed? Thanks for you help and inspiration. I just found your site through Moneysavingmom. I am have fun digging through all of your recipes. I’d like to try making the taco meat.

Probably the best compromise would be to eat less meat, thereby being able to afford smaller amounts of healthier/more humanely produced meat. It's amazing the mileage I can get out of a whole chicken or a small roast - and believe me, we aren't rolling in the dough ourselves! Most of our meals focus on grains/beans or pastas, with homemade sauces and small amounts of meat as flavoring. Tonight we're having crockpot pork chops (4 chops for 5 people) over brown rice with frozen corn. Tomorrow night, I'll cut up the leftover meat and add it to a huge batch of crock pot beans for pork and bean soup.<br />I don't condemn anyone for there choices - I just think sometimes we are so used to do things one certain way that we don't even recognize the possibilities and alternatives that exist.

Years ago I researched this and yes, came to a similar conclusion as you. Organic, local beef is the best choice. However, for many of us, I don't think it's a question of "cheap" as much as it is making ends meet. Buying organic when we couldn't afford it is one of the things that I did to put my family in debt. For many families organic just isn't an option. In fact, when we had our "wake up call" re: debt and adjusted our spending, we only ate meat once a week, if that. <br /><br />So, many of us find ourselves in a quandry: go meatless or buy something that may not be the very, very best. For me, my target price is $2/#. I buy the best that I can within those guidelines. In June my grocery store marked down the organic to $1.99/# so I "bought in bulk" and froze it. Families need to make the best decisions for the situations they find themselves in. Karen, as Toni said, you bring up some good points re: the beef industry and its processing.
