Another reason for Grass versus Grain fed meat

I was amazed how much flavor the meat had, it tasted like, yes get this, meat! I know crazy.

Green cookbooks

I have read through a couple of the latest green trend in these green cookbooks popping up all over and while most give some good tips and ideas, this latest one seems to delve into lifestyle choices as well. They also have a companion site that compliments the book. It seems like a great comprehensive guide to living eco-friendly with food.
