Anyone that has eaten a hot dog has eaten all the mystery bits.


Or eaten a pussy.

When I was growing up, we had over 200 chickens. I used to go pick one out on Sunday, calm it down and let Dad twist its neck. I also had names for all of the chickens (a story that my mom loves telling). I have seen Dad shoot a cow for beef and all of the deer we have to butcher (not to mention all of the pigs). Seeing the guts did not make me sick. Now...I do get a bit queasy when it comes to catfish..I hate doing catfish, especially the giant ones. I am glad in that way that Dad passed on..we don't have to do that anymore.

Now we get our meat from the grocery store. I know some of the situations that some of the animals are being raised in. I still want to get a calf from the dairy farm and raise it merely for butchering. A hell of a lot cheaper than buiying from the store. We quit raising calfs because it was money down the drain...

Yes, unless you have enough ground and the equipment to grow and bale the hay, raising one or two beef is not cost effective at all.

I love meat, totally a carnivore, but there are HUGE differences between buying meat at a grocery store, or buying ethically raised animals, including eggs, chickens, meat, pork, etc. For years I have refused to support the disgusting and immoral practices of big corporate factor farming. Bad stuff, that.

I highly recommend reading or watching Food, Inc. Oh, and I haven't eaten at a fast food restaurant in well over a decade. I am not keen on burgers that can be comprised from the beef of 100 different cattle. I realize my food choices may cost more, but it's worth it.



kittinSol -> RE: Moral Meat (1/28/2010 5:46:24 AM)

You know there's something seriously wrong when what used to be a sentient being, like a turkey, costs less per pound than a potato.

For me, it depends upon the product. I've seen plenty of corporate farming, I am surrounded by it. Plus I also know that much of the 'free range', 'organic', 'whole grain' etc...is not what most consumers think it is. Kind of like the 'certified Angus' bullshit......such a joke. There are many loopholes that exist via the FDA.

Here is an article that has a few examples.

I prefer to buy all my food as close to the source as possible. Unfortunately those that live in more urban areas, or colder climates, can find that difficult, if not impossible. In reality, I am more concerned with my produce than I am meat. I eat far more of it and there is greater risk for dangerous nastiness on some fresh strawberries than in a steak.

Hey LaT, I agree, I wasn't clear enough I was off to work. What I do is actually go to one of the local farmers around here and order half a cow, pig, chickens, whatever, and they slaughter it and package for me. I don't mean the stuff *still* at the grocery store and labeled organic, etc. I live within 5 miles of at least 6 small farmers market/farmstands, and probably a dozen little specialty shops. In the summer, I grow a fairly substantial garden and can a lot of it. I don't have much faith in the supermarket and I don't feel that paying 1.50 more per dozen eggs there that are marked cage free makes any sense when I can drive to Warren Poultry and get the best chickens and eggs ever for maybe a quarter more.
