How Would I like my steak? Raw.

by Amy Rosen

"'They come in several times a week and everything they buy they eat raw.'  That includes organic chicken, game meats like elk and bison, and organs."

 

Our Neighbourhood - December, 2006

Feast On This, by Lesley-Ann McClure

"This butcher shop doesn't cut corners.  The well-trained staff takes time to answer questions and recommend cooking methods.  They admit organic food ain't cheap but say you get what you pay for.  Organic food costs more to produce and people are misled to believe that food should cost so little.  The Healthy butcher helps to keep prices down by dealing directly with the farmers."

Pleasures of the Flesh, by Susan Bourette

"The carnivores are back.  It's like a bitch-slap to all those reedy, high-minded herbivores who demanded nothing short of a bloodless revolution, dictating the parameters of the discussion, decreeing the rules for years.  Now, it's meat-eaters who have wrestled control of the food debate."

 

Toronto Life - March, 2008

Have a Cow, by Sasha Chapman

"It's supposed to be a win-win approach to meat: animals are treated better and raised in a more environmentally friendly fashion (the production of local, organic, pastured beef consumes far less fossil fuel than feedlot cattle); farmers are paid more because they deal directly with butchers and chefs; less of the animal is wasted; best of all, the consumer gets to eat a healthier, better-quality steak.  At the epicentre of this cult is The Healthy Butcher ... No other food shop in Toronto is working harder to change the way we eat.
