Pretty funny for King of The Hill standards. Not really the standout episode of the season, but because every show's new season this year has been so good, I think I'm a bit spoiled. The ending was kind of funny in a touching way, but I don't think we'll be seeing much of Hank's organic life anymore.

"...Delicious" - Nice little ending quote after a sentimental moment.
Not too bad an episode.

A fairly low-key episode but that wasn't really a problem, as there were a lot of little laughs in here. I especially liked everyone not wanting to say the steak sucked in the beginning, and Nancy quietly giving a steak piece to Ladybird under the table.
I also got a kick out of Hank tasting the organic steak for the first time, and remarking that they need to say grace again.

Good episode. Hank tries to do good but his help is actually more harmful to these people and at the end ruins it all without intending to. I could not help but feel bad for Hank he really did not know that his efficiency would improve the Co-op so much that they would be bought out. He never wanted that.

The letter at the end was a bit touching, and the 'delicious' comment funny.
"He's like a human lassie!" made me laugh XD
I gotta wonder though, when I see Hank buying food, especially meat, at a place like Mega-lo-mart... don't you guys have...you know...GROCERY stores?! Here every grocery store has a butcher or two on staff, and most have someone to take care of the fish and seafood. Sometimes they even make sushis. That kinda puzzled me. You gotta be pretty desperate to buy any form of fresh food in a Wal Mart like place oO

Two things. No one got the subtlety of Hank calling Appleseed near the end of the episode? How Appleseed was always the one calling Hank up and bugging him? I laughed hard at that moment.
I liked the idea of Hank being the straightfaced traditional conservative and going to an organic market, because Megalomart is...well...Megalomart. The jokes about the hippies were the same old stuff over and over. Not too funny. But I did love how the Hippies hated the Yuppies. That one was hillarious. And I really love how they sold their scruples for profits. And a big Box retail chain was pretending to be organic. that was great.
I will say, I'm sick of Luanne becoming more and more vapid in each and every episode. But at least it wasn't as hard as the other episodes the last few seasons. And NO Lucky in the episode at all. That makes it great in my book.

All the grocery stores here have a meat market but none of them are really good or anything. There's no butcher or anything. Just some guy that lays out prepackaged meat.
We had a butcher's shop open up here a few months ago and it shut down really quick. I bet it got bought out.
You really have to travel to far out, small towns to find a good butcher. It's sad but I assume that was probably the inspiration for this episode.

I don't see Hank having done any harm to them at all- their own STUPIDITY and naivete did them harm.
This is an episode that proves something, if you look close enough: there's an old saying "money corrupts". No...more like "stupidity, weakness, and irresponsibility corrupt"
The guys at the Co-op all had good intentions...but they sadly were all three of the above when it came to running a business.
Hank tried to help people improve their own situation, and their own cluelessness consumed them.
How I love Hank- he's so the man.
No Lucky- not right.
