Mr. Wiggles posted:The best thing is to find a local butcher - depending on where you live, this may be a kosher butcher, halal butcher, carniceria, etc. It's more than likely going to be an ethnic joint, though - this is good! They're serving communities which demand a certain quality. Ask these butchers questions, get to know them. Find out where they get their meat and how they treat it - they'll probably be very proud and happy to tell you after they figure out that you're not from PETA or something. Once you have this relationship built, you will be able to get super high quality, ethical meat at prices which are in almost all cases even better than Costco. I agree with the part about finding a local butcher, but if you're finding very cheap meat, there's a very high chance it was factory farmed. Raising cattle is an expensive business, especially if you want to do it ethically. Ethnic butchers by no means guarantee better quality meats than your supermarket. However, they will often offer cheaper cuts than supermarkets. If you're poor and you want to eat meat, it's going to be unethically raised. There's very few exceptions to this.
