It's not a priority if you can't afford it. Just do the best you can.

likewise with organic veggies.

they are from free range chickens are actually cheaper than the grocery store

eggs so that is not a problem.

Grass-fed beef and free range chickens are great. But many thousands of

people have gotten well on regular store bought meats, so long as those

meats didn't have injected illegals -- which it sounds like the meat you

are getting does not.

I chose, after I was recovering my health, to start moving in the

direction of better quality meats and vegetables as I was able to afford

it. But as much as I would like to, I can't afford pastured cheeses

and butter and all manner of things like that.

Follow the SCD parameters -- and do the best your budget allows as to the

kind of meat and veggies.
