The Food Revolution

He still recommends people at least eat less meat, and points out that many grass fed cows still go to regular slaughterhouses, but they often get to have a more natural life up to that point.

There are a number of websites that enable you to order animal products (meat, dairy, raw unfiltered honey, etc) straight from the producer, having it shipped to your house. Cutting out the middleman, it isn't so much more than going to the grocery store, and the quality is generally much better.
