I quit eating that crap a few years ago, I won’t even eat in the average restaurant or chain dinner house. I know for a fact I can make better food at home, and cheaper.

Get a freezer, find a small meat processing plant and ask to buy a whole cow/goat/lamb/pig, or portions there of, that has been raised by real people on a real farm. They will hook you up. Or find a meat CSA. It is a bit of an investment, but it is cheaper in long run.

I was just told about a farmer's market that does such out in the country. You buy a whole hog for about $35. They charge to butcher it also but reduce the cost due to many people giving the butcher the skin, innards, head, and other stuff people usually don't eat. Also they sell half cows and a neighbor and I are looking at splitting the cost of one. Only drawback is that you have to come back the next week as you're selecting from live animals and they need a couple of days to prepare it.
