Saying that all cows eat this or that or all pigs or chickens are raised one way is just silly.  And saying that grass fed beef is tough is just as silly.  It's like saying all people in Costa Rica are _________  fill in the blanks.  No such thing.  Each farmer has his own way of raising meat or using chickens for eggs.  Also, eggs are not kept under refrigeration but milk definitely is.  If you saw milk on the counter in a small store it could have been because the farmer had just delivered it.  Some farmers do use dried chicken manure as a cattle supplement and some farmers have egg factories and some farmers let their pigs forage.  But many do not.  If you are concerned about the source of your meat, find a local farmer and talk to him.  Your local butcher can help with this too.  If food handling was so bad in Costa Rica wouldn't you see folks puking on every corner?  Come on, people, let's show some common sense.
