Hunting For Meat

Sucker.

For big game, carry 4 large heavy duty plastic bags, the kind with handles and ziplocks. Saw off the head, cut out the backstraps and the quarters, and leave what little is left for the predators. It'll save another animal's life for a week. 2 birds, 1 stone.

Or, you can go the whole route of cutting the *** and squeezing out the **** pellets, slitting the throat so you can pull the innards out by the wind pipe, and drag the entire damn carcass through the woods only to get little more meat and a lot to dispose of with nowhere near to send it to.

Gutting out is so easy though. Takes maybe 15 minutes. It's worth the extra meat.
 
I work with a lady who went down this road raising chickens to eat. Now she's a vegetarian.

cuz chickens are ****ing cute and funny and smart. I haven't eaten a bite of chicken since I've been taking care of these hens.
 
Do you two get free yogurt at work? I could live on that stuff alone. I eat 3 Greek every morning and always end up wanting more.
Kinda unlimited really. There is a fridge full of yogurt for employees (and visitors and contractors) to eat whenever they want.
I always eat two cups of yogurt each morning.

do you feel bad about all the bacteria and other microbial life that you're killing?

Those bacteria keep us all functioning. They fulfill the measure of their creation in their lifespans.

not all of them. Are you really saying that 100% of the culture-able bacteria we consume ends up 'living their course' within our bodies?

Fish says he doesn't like killing. He does as long as he's eating food and paying taxes to the US govt

I'm not too worried about that. I'm looking into all of this for purely selfish reasons, I think learning about this stuff might make me a happier/better person.

If I find I don't enjoy the experience I'll probably just revert to this:

Just go fishing or something. You get to fillet/butcher meat then too, but it's less messy.
 
Most people, at least Americans, get their meat via factory farming. Factory farming, in my opinion, is wrong both morally and environmentally.

Fair point.

Those practices can and should be improved.

Providing mass meat at decent prices for the country is very difficult though. There is some give and take there, I think.

Anybody know what the latest news is on lab-grown meat? Last I heard it was ridiculously expensive.

Not to derail the thread (because that's never been done on JazzFanz) but isn't there a concern about Chinese and Indians gaining a taste for beef that could lead to all sorts of economical/environmental issues?
 
Mmmmm...

My wife and I had a couple of ribeyes from a local farm by my work for dinner tonight.

It'll never happen for Indians. The cow is sacred to them.
