I try my best, I don't want to go vegan or anything, I don't think I would suceed. Thoughts...
We get our organic 'clean' meat (beef, chicken, lamb) from the Farmer Markets, particularly from a Mennonite farmer. The major chain grocery stores are pathetic even for clean meats, with hormones and chemical feeds given to the animals. Check out local butchers and ask what kind of meat they're selling. You might want to take up hunting, but I don't know what kind of clean game they have in Australia. There may be some online meat producers who ship, like Omaha Steaks or Schwan's (home delivery).
