I've checked it out at the library several times and would love to own it:) We get all of our meat locally from either small farms or friends who raise them, and feel very fortunate to have that choice.

My journey is so similar to yours; I fought my cravings for red meat (what can I say, Cuban blood) for over 12 years...and returned back when I was mending a broken bone. Eating meat for me only means eating pastured and grass-fed poultry, beef, bison and lamb.

It is also using as much of the animal as is possible. I like to can a lot of meat, rather than using a lot of energy freezing, thawing, and then cooking it.

So a big part of this is not only are the animals living as close to their natural rhythms as possible but that we have enough people farming so that everyone can afford to eat it. <br /><br />Would love to Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10772659788099469050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710525766736736547.post-2278136023612261252011-09-06T08:22:47.073-04:002011-09-06T08:22:47.073-04:00Great giveaway!

As with some of the other readers, it immediately resonated with me as you discussed once being a vegetarian but now finding other reasons not to be. I was a vegetarian for seven years, and quit because I too wanted to support a more holistic form of animal raising.
