What got me most was how he complained about the texture of the 4 pound roasting chicken. He was surprised that a free-range chicken, that's lived 8 months to grow naturally to 4 pounds (as opposed to being pumped with hormones and unnatural feed to grow that size in 6 weeks) was tough. Honestly, he must not know very much about free range meat. Perhaps, if he cooked his food properly, it would taste better and last longer. I agree, it really does a disservice to the localvore movement. A better angle would have been to show consumers how they can stretch their food dollars AND eat local.
