These are words we didn’t anticipate ever writing: Head over to Fox TV to see some not-so-subtle campaigning for real food. In the latest episode of “King of the Hill,” Hank discovers good steaks can’t be bought at the grocery store — but they can be bought at the local crunchy co-op, along with organic potatoes and heirloom tomatoes.

With their new food source, the Hill family eats like kings for a while, but when the local megastore takes over the co-op, Hank realizes his tasty steaks are going the way of the dodo. His solution: Bring the cows home (and throw in some chickens, too). Tune in to see just how that goes.
