This is what I just wrote on my website in response to the article: http://www.vladaverbukh.com

The AFP article mentioned that I spend $70 a day on my food. This is not entirely accurate as I spend far less in the warmer months eating locally grown produce. I almost never spend more than $30 a day on food in the summer. While I try to eat seasonally as much as I can, I still buy imported organic fruit in the winter. I would typically go for less sweet fruits such as blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and cherries. This stuff gets very pricey and accounts for most of my daily food expenses. Since I prefer my meat very rare or raw, I get softer cuts of meat such as ribeye, these are obviously more expensive as well. While I realize I could spend a lot less by buying organ meats and frozen beef, I would rather spend more and get fresher and higher quality food.

hi vlad, who 's your local grassfed farmer? i'm moving in nyc. i need your help to find grass fed animals' suppliers. if i needed, i don't mind to drive 50 miles. my toddler also eats raw paleolithic way. it's necessary for me fresh supply of meats and organs. i'm not looking for anything frozen. thanks.

There's a farmer at union square market in Manhattan, he's there Monday and Wednesday, he's usually not frozen and occasionally has some organs, look for the sign that says "New York Grass Fed Beef". There's also another guy on Wednesday who has lamb, not sure if he sells organs. There are also several farmers at that same market who sell frozen, but they may let you get it fresh if you visit their farm.

Hey Tyler, I'm the guy from the article, just registered so I can respond to  you. I do visit this forum on occasion, haven't really had the urge or the time to contribute thou. I keep things simple, mostly berries and raw or gently cooked meat, been doing this for a few years now. I agreed to talk to the Times as I believe giving exposure to us is a good thing. Unfortunately the article didn't really touch on the benefits of going paleo, I'm also dissappointed they didn't mention the local grassfed farmers where I buy my stuff. Getting more people to eat grass-fed can only be a good thing. Another point I should mention is that some of the other paleos mentioned in the article do eat raw on occassion, the article would have you believe otherwise.

And if you're the same person as Geoff Purcell, I also want to thank you for your contributions towards spreading the word about raw paleo. I came accross some of your writing years ago, right after reading Cordain's books, I found it very helpful.
