Wife just watched a documentary entitled "You Are What You Eat." Shows the conditions that cattle, pigs, and poultry are raised in right here in the USA. I have a strong stomach but this was truly disgusting. And they are filled with so many growth hormones and antibiotics that these enter your body and are highly suspect. She then did research on what vegetables can be used to replace protein. I already grow a lot of them but ordered more seeds to grow some of the others.
"No more buying domestic meat!" she proclaimed.
Considering that I am a lifelong hunter and meat eater, sounds like a rather bleak picture so far, doesn't it? Well, stay tuned.
She did more research and said, "We can't get all our protein from plants, realistically speaking. We need some meat, but not farmed seafood. The documentary showed that and they are fed antibiotics, growth hormones---all sorts of crap---and their living conditions are terrible."
I then did some research and showed her this chart, which compares the nutritional value of wild game compared to domestic meat.
She studied it and looked at me. "Which is your favortie venison?"
"Cow elk, hands down!" I replied. "You get about 175 pounds of boned meat---far better than beef---from a good sized cow elk."
"Well, you better book a cow elk hunt for next season. And maybe a deer hunt. Oh, and a couple of hog hunts, too."
"How about me booking a trip for ahi, yellowfin tuna? Lots of sushi there."
"Sure. And the sooner, the better."
Kaaaa.....Chinggggggg!
