...increased 30% as it has gained more cred as a healthy and free-range alternative to lamb and beef. Now, with a recession in full swing, the relatively inexpensive, lean red meat is moving even faster.

Two, it's better for you. Three, it's better for the environment. It ticks all the boxes. People can't ignore it anymore...

He made the rather remarkable claim, for instance, that his budget proposal was "inseparable from this recovery," apparently tying his own long-range policy goals on education, energy and health care to the end of the current recession. He also took some jabs at his Republican critics, who have mostly been marginalized in recent weeks by a lack of substantive arguments.
