I know I know ....... didn't you know???....... Nope, really never though about stuff like this til last year. Now it is a personal campaign to enlighten and reinforce my position. It was just like the Matrix and now I see the world with my real eyes.

Now I remember why I don't eat meat.

 

[me&thegals]

Beans and rice, baby, beans and rice.

Seriously, I think it has been about 10 years since I last bought hamburger from a store. Probably about 5 years since I ate one from McD's. I DO like Culver's burgers, though! Wish I could get the kids to stop choosing burger-based or meat-based meals on their once weekly school lunch. Gak!

 

[old fashioned]

hmmmm...maybe it's not so bad that they treat the meat with radiation after all...

All I know is that I feel so much better and I am so much healthier since I stopped eating meat. Now when I think about it, the idea is disgusting. This article really seals the deal.

Those who want to eat pink slime, please continue to enjoy your fast food burgers.

I will eat my whole grains, veggies, and beans.

OK you non meaties
open wide, insert steak---

I love meat --but I like MY FARM meats. Seriously, the stuff on the market today is just scary....well heck most foods on the market today are scary..HAHA

UGH---at least when I eat my meats I know I raised them. Now off for some sausage this morning---my hog of course

LOL


I noticed even though I am a meatie gal, I am tending to eat less meat.

Do you think as we get older (and I am) that our diets just change? I noticed things I loved before I don't like as much, etc. I don't eat as much meats, or my steak portion is way smaller than it used to be. I c an't eat a big portion of meats anymore, but I still like my smaller one..lol



hmm....

Maybe if I had a cow in my back yard I would consider eating meat, but most of us don't have room!

Since my options are what I can get at restaurants and supermarkets, I think I will stick with my beans. I could buy organic grass fed beef but I would have to give up electricity to be able to afford it. So, beans are a clear winner for me.

I agree that farm meat is a cow of a different color.

yea grass raised beef is expensive.....way back when we had like only 4 Angus and were breeding up the herd, I wanted to eat one and get off store bought meats. But FIL said no, he wanted to breed these heifers and I couldn't eat one..LOL......so I checked online for buying grass fed beef and the price and shipping was thru the roof.

that was many moons ago....now I process my beef and when I run out I trade my hog for Barb's beef. (runs a dairy) So now my meat sources are covered which is good.


But I am a meat hound and I eat way less meat I noticed.

And I do feel great---but that could be tons of other factors like eating good veggies from the garden etc.


You are right, you would have to give up electricity for grass fed beef.
I wouldn't be willing to live in the dark either..HAHA

As much as I hate to admit it, eating less meat seems to make me feel alot better also. But for me taste is important so I do love steak on the grill. I guess that is why my portions are smaller now. If I end up a meatless eater I will surprise myself..LOL

 

[FarmerChick]

hey Me&thegals

were you always a light meat eater or did you truly not like meats etc.

Stuff like this is why we buy all of our meat from neighbors we trust and process it ourselves, shoot it and process it ourselves, or in a real pinch buy it from a trusted butcher that only buys locally.
That reminds me, I have to get a roast out of the freezer for dinner this evening.............
