Steaks come from the grocery store and are somehow distantly connected to romantic herds of cattle roaming the plains. I don't know if that's bad or good, but it is naive. We just bought a quarter of beef. That's a quarter of a cow, a cow we knew, who was raised locally on grass - no grain. A few weeks ago it was killed, butchered, and a quarter of it now rests in our freezer. When we say grace at meals, it's has something to do with giving thanks to God for the gift of many lives that help nourish us: the crops and farmers, the workers and processors, and, most especially the life of a particular chicken, pig or cow. Maybe because of that intimacy, I do whatever I can to avoid Tyson and the factory farms that supply them and others like them.Country Parsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02727241474360657192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19733180.post-69483481494879683542011-12-02T15:54:10.137-05:002011-12-02T15:54:10.137-05:00I've eaten horse in France.

It was the silhouette of the horse head on the store sign that finally made the light go off in her head. <br /><br />It doesn't taste like chicken.Mitchellhttp://milewis.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
