Well I'm a bit skeptical about this comment, in the big picture sense that is. Foremost, it's outrageously expensive and makes up maybe a tiny tiny fraction of the beef industry, which I would rather not support. I do not deny that it is fantastic, Kobe beef for one is off the charts delicious. Actually it seems that whenever you have wild or well farmed animals, they are both nutritious and delicious. The problem is with industrial farming and overconsumption in most cases, and the ensuing personal and societal costs that follow. And I don't think I would be helping anything by increasing my consumption of grass-fed beef, and I certainly don't think the world would be better without D. Newton's guitars, and the music created by them. I rather just keep things simple, which in this case is just eat less beef... and just use a little bit of shellac... =P

To be green in my mind, is to see the big picture and not sweat the small stuff.
