How Would I like my steak? Raw.
by

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."

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."
Blog T.O. - March 4, 2008
The Healthy Butcher selected as Toronto's Best Butcher Shop
"#1 - The Healthy Butcher. A Queen West staple, The Healthy Butcher
features organic, locally raised and slaughtered meats. It's a one-stop shop
where you can get great cuts and excellent prepared burgers and sausages...
Success is a beautiful thing. Such is the case with the new location of The
Healthy Butcher in Eglinton West (Avenue and Eglinton). The second installment
of the franchise more than complements the highly successful Queen St. location.
In fact, although it's more than twice as big (it's more of a small grocery
store than a butcher), it is all about quality not quantity here. On offer at
this location is also organic produce (all organic, lots of local), cheeses,
oils, bread, and more. Basically everything you find in your average grocery
store, minus all the aisles in the middle. If you're the type that does most of
your shopping at the perimeter of the big chains, avoiding boxes and bags,
you'll be right at home."
