The best meat delivery services

Nearly half of U.S. drinking water contains potentially toxic PFAS¹—but what does this really mean for the safety of your water?

First, what are PFAs?

• Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of human-made chemicals known as "forever chemicals" because they linger in the environment—and in human bodies.²

What's the harm?

• Exposure to high levels of PFAS has been linked to metabolic and thyroid health challenges,³ adverse birth outcomes,⁴ and in some extreme cases, higher cancer risk.⁵
• Tap water can also contain arsenic, disinfection byproducts, nitrate, and excess fluoride (linked with arthritis, osteoporosis, fatigue, and joint damage).⁶

What's the solution?

• A lot needs to be done from an environmental standpoint to improve tap water safety, but one thing's for sure: We should all be filtering our drinking water.

Experts say reverse osmosis filters are a top option to remove toxins from drinking water⁷—and the Cloud RO Water Filtration System is one of our favorites.

The under-sink filter removes 99% of contaminants, including PFAS, lead, fluoride, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals. It then remineralizes water with calcium, magnesium, and potassium to be alkaline.

Finding quality meat at your local grocery story isn't always a given—but meat delivery services ship quality proteins right to your front door.

Our senior commerce editor spent the last few months testing out meat delivery services to determine how they stack up. Here's her honest take on what makes each standout.

• Highest quality: Force of Nature
  • These are the highest quality cuts among the bunch. The regeneratively-raised meat is 100% grass-fed and pasture-raised. It's better for the planet, but harder on your wallet. No bargains here!
• Best bargain: Butcher Box
  • Butcher Box delivers higher-quality meats for those on a tighter budget. Standards are not as strict as Force Of Nature, but chicken is certified organic, beef is 100% grass-fed, fish is wild-caught fish, and pork is crate-free. You can still taste the difference from grocery stores.
• Most affordable: Good Chop
  • Good Chop constantly has sales but you'll have to spend more time seeking out quality cuts on the site. Only select cuts are organic or grass-fed (but everything is sourced from the U.S.).
