Meat Really Is Good For You 

Meat can be a healthy choice in your diet, provided it's grass-fed and organic. The way the meat is raised, what it eats, where it lives, and whether it has access to the outdoors makes a major difference in whether it's a healthy food or a disease-promoting one.

On the scale of meat healthiness, processed meats rank consistently near the bottom, such that they should rarely be consumed, if at all.

Ground Pork

"Fantastic!"   

"I prefer to make my own sausage and this pork is the perfect base to get it going.  I've been using it for that as well as a meat sauce I use on a lot of items.  This is now going to be an absolute staple in my freezer."
