kek rite?

Bible says a righteous man has compassion on his animals, but the cruel have none

how you treat animals and all those weaker than you tells a lot about your character

i knew he'd be eaten, but i figured "he's still alive now. happy cows taste better, let's be friends before dinner in 6 months". i was 13, my first vegetarian stint happened after, but in hindsight, it was an important thing, really.

Did you slaughter/butcher yourself?

no, the owner outsourced that to a local butcher.

I use to work at a butcher shop. Over time, you could tell which meat came from happy and sad animals.

really?

chemically they're different

wow

good thing i treat animals rite

a cow that lived and died sad or scared taste bad compared to a happy cow.

bad like bitter or what?

i don't know how to describe it...if you've ever had grassfed or local meat instead of your normal supermarket meat, you can just...tell.

Happy cows produce more tender cuts.

the meat gets tougher, a little chewier, a little... dry.

more bland as well

^^^

and frozen meats get dry and chewy too because the water in the meat freezes and destroys good proteins, which is why a fresh burger tastes better than, say buger king.

which is why i wish we would impliment more local food. more jobs, more community bonding, better food.

Mostly goat and chicken out by me.

it sounds hippieish, i'm aware, but western society used to be upheld by communities working together.

a lot of cows and pigs around me.

Good stuff, but I haven't found someone selling beef and pork yet. The cows out here are used for dairy.

It sounds like I enjoy eating miserable meat then

it used to be if someone had too much hay, they'd give it to the famer next door and the farmer next door would give them their extra manure, etc. i wanna see that come back

It is, but out in very rural areas.

Seems to be creeping back into the norm though. Just at a slow rate.

oh, i know, i live on six acres in the sticks, which is being turned into a tree farm.

I grew up on a 5.5 acre block just outside a town of 100 people heh

area was mostly grain farming with a bit of cattle/sheep rotated in occasionally

i live on a land owner maintained road, and my friend's dumb car got stuck in sugar sand and 4 of my neighbors helped get the car out. good ol southern boys.

your friend's dumb car, or your dumb friend's car?

both.

My mother grew up on a farm back in the 50's. Cows, chickens, fresh strawberries. If was Americana af.

ok I'm off home folks, ciao

bai!

bye

we're making that for our kids. americana.
