If supermarket means conventional meat from grain fed animals I can
tell you one simple thing: forget it! It's incredible low quality,
filled up with antibiotics, artificial hormones and other toxic waste.
You don't do yourself a favour be eating this stuff.

The minimal quality would be "organic" which can be obtained in special
organic supermarkets, e.g. "Whole Foods Market". But there are differen-
ces. Some animals are raised on pastures and are grain fed for the last
months of there life. Meat from "Colemans" has been discussed on this
list and seems to be of good quality. Maybe you should search for this
word in the list's archives.

The next higher level would be meat from wild animals.

Yes, it is. Freezing is a weak denaturation which lowers the quality
a bit. Cooking alters the meat completely creating lots of new substances,
among them carcinogens, oxidating agents, etc.
Of course unfrozen organic meat from pasture fed animals would be best.
If not available frozen would be the next choice, IMHO.
