Where do you get your meat?  If you're like me, you have plenty of explanations for what and why you eat what you do - but how many people realize that between 1990 and today, the market for meat in the us has become a contractual obligation that survives death, attached to property, driving prices up..rather than down..with no clear profit to producer over non contractual arrangements, despite the exorbitant cost of buy in?

Mostly local stuff. There's a grocer/butcher in town called 'Far North Foods', essentially a consignment shop for local farmers. Not a huge selection, as far as variety goes, but we can get beef, lamb, mutton, and venison there. It's on the pricey side, but having been raised on farm meats, it just tastes better to me, and (it being just the two of us) we're not really looking to save 20c a kilo on meats.

Seafood/fish and poultry we get at the local farmer's market.
