organically grown food and killed in the most humane manner possible.

Thank you!  An answer to my question!  Sigh.  Most sorry to have asked
the question in the first place; it led to so much acrimony on the list.


When I get down to southern New Mexico in a few weeks, if the meat
departments don't carry any "free range" organically fed animals - I'll
just ask for kosher.

BTW, my last name is Rosenthal and although I am not Jewish (it's my
married name), I've been discriminated against for over 30 years by
people who think I am Jewish.  Having the last name has given this
protestant of Dutch heritage an interesting view of life...and has made
me more empathatic
than I would have been if my name had remained Post.
