canned salmon and canned chicken at walmart isnt bad and its not bad priced either
I used to carry a can of canned pink salmon and a couple packets of mustard with me and a can opener and I just ate that at lunch with side salad I bought from like mcdonalds or something for a dollar.

Im actually the only ‘healthy’ athlete I know. Damn well I honestly cant live only on eggs I need beef and chicken and such…Anyone know of Land & Sea? Good middle ground. Cheaper than Whole foods, less quality, but better than Super Wally. Its a meat shop so Id think its ok. I just cant afford to bulk from Whole Foods[/quote]

It has nothing to do with animal treatment and all to do with chemicals and hormones in the foods, especially meats
Costco might have better options.
I get my fish through a restaurant an uncle owns, so a 30lb box of farm raised fish is $60. If you know any friends or family that have a restaurant, check them out. Amazing deals.

Watch the documentary Food Inc. and you won’t want to eat non-roganic again.
You don’t just buy organic because non-organic farmed animals “suffer more.”

whilst theres some points to take out of Food inc, you can make ANYTHING look like the devil if you try hard enough and dedicated a movie to “exposing it”
You know who has SLOW, LOCAL, and ORGANIC food? The fucking third world.

In a bulking phase and for a college student it’s damned near impossible to go out and buy enough wild caught fish and grass fed beef to make the gains. Now I’m thinking that it wouldn’t be all that bad to buy a pound of of grass fed and wild caught salmon but then filling in the gaps with much more affordable ware. Seem sound?[/quote]
Canned pink salmon son, its about 2-3 bucks per can and wild and from Alaska.

I’m normally a fan of that show, but they seemed to just pick the stupidest people they could find to argue in favor of the organic food, it was a little bit too biased in my opinion. Granted I just finished reading The Omnivore’s Dilemma, so I might be a bit biased by that.
The research is mixed regarding the nutritional advantages of organic vs. conventionally-grown produce, so don’t buy it for that reason. Generally, it’s grown more sustainably which is reflected in the elevated price, but I find that it tastes better as well.
In your case, I would recommend just buying the cheaper meats and produce and investing any money left in quality supplements to cover nutritional deficits.
To add on to what I wrote about the penn and teller clip; they were talking about industrial organic which is significantly different from “real” organic.
