If you haven&#39;t already done so, I recommend you read Barbara Kingsolver&#39;s &quot;Animal, Vegetable, Miracle&quot;. She went on a similar quest, and her book gives a lot of tips and insights on making this feasible. And to keep yourself motivated, try &quot;Food, Inc.&quot;  <br /><br />Also, I notice that your restrictions on meat are only based on what the meat has been feed (grass-fed vs. corn-fed). Are you also focusing on how the animals were kept (cage free, pasture-raised, humanely treated, organic)?
