Forrest Pritchard, author of Gaining Ground: A Story of Farmers’ Markets, Local Food and Saving the Family Farm appeared on the Huffington Post Blog today, to redefine the term “value meal.” In this analysis of how the burger arrives from the pasture or barn to our steaming bag of cheap fast food, Pritchard asks, “How can we really know what’s ‘expensive’ or ‘cheap’ until we recognize that grass-fed and grain-fed beef are distinctly different products?” Instead, we must begin to better understand the value of a sustainable, healthful source of food. Don’t forget to check out Forrest’s blog, where his next post will be titled, “Why my farm is like an episode of 30 Rock.”
