Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

I suspect almost all "free range" chickens are kept in some kind of larger fence.
Free-range chickens are legally required to have "access" to the outside, but most still spend almost all of their lives in cages. It's even more purely a marketing term than "organic."

Tommy, I was thinking in terms of meat. I come from three generations of people in the meat business. It's the "grass finished" thing that I can't make sense of.

I hate video games, but I have family-dynamics issues about them.
What are your issues?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
What kind of chicken and eggs should I buy then? I try to be good hard responsible-consumer-man!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
iirc, Pollan talks about grass-fed vs. grain-finished. That is, it's a typo (or rather thinko).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah. I was thinking dairy because sometimes dairy cattle get sold for meat. But now that I think of it, this must be a small percentage of meat out there, huh?

Farmer's market/CSA. They're hella expensive, but I have to admit, they do taste a LOT better.

Growing up, video games were very strongly gender-segregated in my family; my father and brother played them, and females didn't. Instead, we sat around and watched the males play video games, because clearly the video games were very important. Also, my father seemed to like video games more than his children. This may, in fact, still be the case. (Did I mention, issues?)
