Maybe I’ve been hitting the keyboard too hard today but I’m getting hungry and this story isn’t helping things. I believe in meat as a part of a healthy diet so when I see a company with a name like The Healthy Carnivore my interest is peaked.

The natural meats e-tailer will take on the local butcher and mail order companies such as Omaha Steaks in an effort to change the way consumers think about and purchase meat. With its premium, all-natural, artisan-cut meats, including beef, chicken, pork and lamb, The Healthy Carnivore makes delicious natural meats available to anyone at anytime — for gift-giving and daily consumption. The Healthy Carnivore’s cut-to-order, free-range, grain-fed meats rival the taste and quality of other first-rate brands, but contain no hormones, antibiotics, or animal by-products. The Healthy Carnivore provides a sensible and delicious alternative to the grocer’s meat case and traditional mail-order catalogs. The Healthy Carnivore offers next-day delivery; fresh-frozen and beautifully presented.

I think it’s interesting to see that the company “was established in 2005, as a collaboration between Ken McLaughlin, a Web designer, health enthusiast and meat lover, and Jobbers Meat Packing, a renowned, 27-year-old packing and distribution company.” Ken sounds like my kind of guy!
