"Earlier this week, I wrote about two meat products recalls. Those recalls, along with the books and  documentaries that expose the unhealthy conditions of the industrial beef complex, bring up serious concerns about what we eat. I still like eating meat, so I want to know: How should beef be raised, slaughtered, and sold? And where can I find the good stuff?   Last week, I had the chance to see one example of how beef can be produced naturally, humanely, and safely. While on a family vacation to Houston, we took an hour detour out of the city to Texas Ranch Life, run by Taunia and John Elick. My daughters enjoyed riding horses and learning to lasso with cowboy Craig, but they were just as interested in seeing the huge herd of Longhorn cattle. That was definitely the highlight of my time there. The cows feed on grass from birth to slaughter and receive neither antibiotics nor hormones. Their expansive pastures are not only breathtakingly beautiful, they make a disease-free home for the cows and   their calves. If you&amp;#039;re lucky enough to live near Belleville, Texas, you can purchase the meat on Main Street. Otherwise, you can order the meat by contacting Texas Ranch Beef. If you don&amp;#039;t live in the great state of Texas, it&amp;#039;s worth finding sources of good beef. I order mine from my CSA, but Laura&amp;#039;s Lean Beef is an antibiotic- and hormone-free choice in supermarkets nationwide. The Chipotle Steak Sandwiches in our June issue are so tasty, you won&amp;#039;t want to miss out on making them! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
