I am totally flabbergasted that they have forgotten to use “100% organically grown” non-GMO ingredients. So many “green”-thinking, well-intentioned people haven’t gotten it yet that just because it’s “green” doesn’t mean it’s not toxic to humans.

Just a minor point there.

Red and green bell peppers are on the “Dirty Dozen” list of Most Heavily Used Pesticide list. Chicken not “naturally grown” or “organically grown” runs the risk of adding hormones and antibiotics to the human diet.

The cleanest food available anywhere can be purchased at Whole Foods. They know the WHOLE story about what is, and what is not, a good thing for people to eat and not eat.

I’ve patronized them for years and have done price comparisons, and Whole Foods comes out really competitive with other grocery stores. I especially like their in-house brand “365″ and always purchase 365 Organic when I can.

Maybe somebody should tell Contessa Green Cuisine that they’ve got a ways to go yet.

Allison, I would assume because so many people still enjoy eating red meat. There wasn’t much info on how they attain the beef that they use, but I’m hopeful that with as much effort as they put into keeping their seafood sustainable that they make an effort in using beef from farms that cause as little damage as possible.

There was a very small amount of meat in the meal, at least by normal American standards. I’d love to see a vegetarian option, unfortunately my store didn’t have any if they do offer one. I don’t eat seafood, so that wasn’t an option for the taste test.

I must ask, seeing as cattle farming is the one of the world’s biggest environmental problems, why would Green Cuisine even think to include red meat in its offerings? This makes no sense whatsoever.
