We raised our own meat and killed it too. It was alive in the market until 150 years ago as there was no refrigeration.<br /><br />There is no trick or art in killing, and it is not shocking after you have done it and lived with it. This is the normal of a million years, and it is only the arrogance of modern lazy times when ripe fruit is delivered in winter and sugar and nuts come in a bag that we have embraced foreign foods such as potatoes and tofu, almonds, and pumpkins. There is nothing wrong with vegetarianism, but it is affectation of modern rich white people who have cheap food, close by, delivered in airplanes and trucks, harvested by unseen peasants many thousands of miles away. Few people are less connected to the land or to history than the modern American vegetarian.PBurnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781540805883519064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-81298910721267360702014-11-29T13:12:17.965-05:002014-11-29T13:12:17.965-05:00The author/farmer/enviromental "guru" Ge...The author/farmer/enviromental "guru" Gene Logsdon once wrote, "In nature a natural death is unnatural."<br /><br />If most people had to kill their own food, most people would be vegetarians.<br /><br />I wrote that. :)Curthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325881375911318982noreply@blogger.com
