Karen,

Lean grain fed meat is better than no meat.  Look for hormone and antibiotic
free beef.  You just have to hunt around and ask questions.  Laura's lean
beef is widely available across the country as is Coleman beef.  You may
also be able to find Piedmontese beef in your area---directly from a farmer.
These meats are finished on grain, but still much leaner than typical
supermarket meat.  (Laura's Lean Beef is sold in some supermarkets in most
states.)

Mail order is outrageously expensive.  You can save money on grass fed beef
by bying it directly from a farmer (rather than mail order).  Check the
<www.eatwild.com> web site for someone within a few hours of your house,
maybe in a neighboring city or state.  Buying a secondhand deep freezer can
allow you buy in quantity, which brings the price way down.  It's worth a
few hours drive, if need be, with coolers in tow, to get it directly from
the farmer.  The cost of grassfed meat in many cases is comparable to lean
conventional beef if you do this.  When you buy a quarter or half side of
beef, half or whole lamb, you save $$.  Grass fed animals are smaller so
buying half or a quarter side is not as overwhelming as it might sound.  We
do this and supplement our supply with hormone/antibiotic-free (grain fed)
Piedmontese beef from a local farmer we know.

Another option: find a farmer in your area who raises cattle, preferably
drug free; ask him to raise one of his steer on grass and hay and to butcher
it before the rest of the cattle get "finished" on grain.   You may need to
give a deposit.

As for fish, we get wild fish and many varieties.  Find a fishmonger in your
area an ask a lot of questions.  Get to know him.  Let him know that you
only want wild fish.  Have him see what he can order in for you and be a
regular customer.  I frequent a fish shop that sells to sushi bars and
restaurants as well as the public.  The guy knows what I want.  He is
enthused to have new fish for me to try, to get my feedback, and to provide
me with the quality fish I want.  We regularly eat wild salmon, artic char,
Chilean Sea Bass, sole, haddock, scrod, and many other varieties.  The char
and sea bass are rich in omega 3s--a nice change from salmon.  The only fish
I buy in supermarkets is Deep Sea Dory, Blue Hake, and Pollock, which is
fish frozen at sea and is very inexpensive, though not a source of omega 3s.

Good luck,

Rachel
