Ah. You have succumbed to the Californian hippy atmosphere over there. Not to worry. Just move to Texas and you will suddenly feel the need to eat meat, own a gun and hate everybody north of Amarillo.
Yea you are most likely right. As I said, this is a temporary experiment and I will most likely end up eating they way you suggested.
Some farmed animals are DEFINITELY subjected to cruelty, especially here. Depends on your definition of cruelty I guess but you only need watch some of the docos out there on the conditions some animals are raised in to see that.
Yea look I'm sure you're right mate but there are also farms with terrible conditions. As I noted, the whole point of this for me is to make more conscious choices about where I up buying my meat and the vegan month is just a way for me to explore my alternatives so I can cut down on my meat intake. This also means I'll be able to spend more money on the meat I do eat (as I'm sure you know, generally the more you can trace where meat comes from the more expensive it is)
Thanks for your input!
Read again. I said there are farms with terrible conditions, I'm not debating that, I have one up the road from me. Trust me, most farmers want them out of the industry as well. It's not the look we want but it's not the norm.
In general all these meats and foods from these boutique type farms(eg organic, biodynamic, raw, grass fed) are a waste of time and are often worse for the environment and animals. Figures from the U.S. Show that the large corporate farms that cop the heat actually have lower death rates and lower antibiotic use than the smaller family farms. This is partly due to the ability to hire specialized people with greater knowledge and give better care but that doesn't suit the current anti corporate farm narrative these days.
It's funny in the U.S. The quality requirements for raw milk are LOWER than what is conventionally sold as pasteurized milk. They have somehow managed to avoid getting health inspections like every normal farm needs to.
Again, if that's the case, I'm sure it will become apparent as I do my own research, but thanks for the pointers.
Keep in mind, this isn't the only reason I'm doing this.
Doing own research doesn't involve trolling the net for answers either, well if you want accurate answers.
you waited till you left bondi to become a hispter?
Just passed this coincidentally
How would you suggest I go about finding a good source for chicken and beef?
