Quality Versus Quantity

As a food company we're always on the look out for quality ingredients in the marketplace.  It's important to be picky about the foods you eat because with all of the different options out there you always want to be sure you're making the right choice.  We believe that many places offer large quantities of food because it distracts a person from thinking about the quality of the food itself or where it may have come from.

Have you ever eaten out at a buffet?  All you can eat places seem to raise red flags in my opinion because if they're charging you a flat fee to eat anything you want, as much as you want, something has to be missing that is keeping them in business.  What are they not telling us?  That the meat they are serving has been fed on corn it's whole life and therefor is really, really cheap? Or maybe they get it from another country with different slaughter practices?  Maybe they get a lot of they're foods from cans or other preservative laden bags?                                            
                                                                                   This looks like a vitamin packed buffet:

This is why when we made the switch over to paleo, we were forced to recognize that if you want quality food it's going to cost you a little more and we're happy to pay for it.  The people out there raising food the right way deserve the money they make because they go the extra mile and put a lot of passion into what they do.
Paying for the right quality foods will help all of us take a step toward shifting the way foods are produced and in turn when the demand increases for these higher quality foods those initial higher costs will come down.
