    Great article, but the downside...

    It's a great article, but when I click through to some of the producers that are linked, I take a look at the prices and am left wondering who can possibly afford it? Pork loins are going for better than ten dollars a pound. Even pork fat (depending on whether it is from the back or the belly) is not far from that.

    I'd love to participate in this "humane" and sustainable farming/consumer/produce culture but frankly, I am simply priced right out of the market. What can I say other than it sucks to be poor...or at least not very well to do.
