No food, no matter how campy, should be a celebration of disease, abuse and malnourishment.
:rofl2: Now THAT is funny.Yeah, we have high school for that.
I know that, but my question is do they? Have you guys seen the "unkilled food" letter to the editor that has been floating around the web? I don't know if it is real, but it is allegedly something sent to a paper that ran an article on hunting. The writer sobs about how cruel and barbaric hunting is and says that people should be happy with going to the supermarket and buying meat that hasn't been killed.:biggrin: With that said, I think it is more likely that a lot of the organic crowd have no idea that organic cows are given evil meds when they are calves and if the get sick. The regs for organic produce are more strict as far as the time the land has to lie fallow after the last application of chemicals (years from what I understand) but my brother and uncle are both cattle farmers in Kentucky and they just roll their eyes when you ask them about the folks in their area who raise "organic" beef. They really don't do much different other than not send them to the feed lot when they hit 600-700 pounds and charge more money once they get to slaughter weight. I'm pretty sure that they still de-nut the boy cows.
"organic" is useless..."local" means you have a means of seeing exactly how the cows live/are raised. Just drive over and look. There are local farms here in North Texas that don't half-ass their livestock. Buying local is the answer to a lot of the modern world's problems.
Don't get me started on school food!
