Typical daily obsession #2: Is that food healthy? local? organic? etc?

So I haven't figured out tomorrow's dinner yet. However, I could make it much more complicated for myself by worrying about where the meat is coming from. I am horrified, sickened, and depressed by CAFOs. And yet, I have not eliminated meat from them yet. Lessened, but not eliminated.

The pork tenderloin in the freezer? almost definitely CAFO. The lamb? not purchased yet, but I have yet to find 100% pasture-fed lamb around here, so probably CAFO too.

How bad is it that we eat CAFO meat? I don't know exactly, but I know it would be much healthier to not. For tomorrow, I will settle for fresh organic vegetables. The meat will be a problem for another day.
