So, like you, I'm just trying to make solid choices at HEB.

By the way, we get some excellent quality organic beef at White House Meat Market, which is conveniently just up the street. (And they have incredible hamburgers to go also!)

Why, you say?! Because she does not eat meat unless forced to do so and will never eat pork and every night her prayers sound like this "Dear Jesus, please bless Mommy and Daddy and Allyson and Christopher and Makayla...etc.. and please, PLEASE Jesus save the pigs so people will not eat them anymore! AMEN" Just had to share but the book sounds interesting also ;) Ok, so this has nothing to do with your post other than the title of the book sent me on this train of thought and I wanted to share:

(the corn thing, I mean). My cousin was telling me about it. It's called King Corn- I haven't seen it yet, but she said it ws very thought provoking and interesting. Maybe I'll add that one to my netflix list! Isn't there a movie/documentory about this? (the corn thing, I mean). My cousin was telling me about it.

Have you been able to track down any local places with eggs or produce from local farms?
