"How did the bacon get in the tree?"

"It's a Jewish bible, isn't it? Bacon's not allowed. What's up with that?"

"And if the Devil isn't Jewish, what is he?"

I want the truth, Mommie.

Funny how opinions shift over 50 some odd years.

When I was but a ween living in one of our original states many of our neighbors and schoolmates routinely ate squirrels sustainably shot from local backyard trees.

However, as a societal class, "squirrel eaters" were barely one step above "possum munchers" and awful damn close to "roadkill rustlers" as far the food chain was concerned. Scorn was abundant.

Five decades later all of the Kool Kids' now spout about "local this", "free range that", "farm to table" and organic organic organic.

I feel redeemed by this shift in attitude.

Now I can finally talk with pride to my youngers about growing up on the front line of "tree to plate" and "road to roasting pan".

Thank you FoodTV.

The Top-Secret Food That Will Change the Way You Eat
More protein than beef. More omegas than salmon. Tons of calcium, antioxidants, and vitamin B. In their secret R&D lab, the scientists at Beyond Meat concocted a plant-protein-based performance burger that delivers the juicy flavor and texture of the real thing with none of the dietary and environmental downsides.

I used to hang out with a nice harpsichord player in New York. She was attractive and a top notch musician. Needless to say she got lots of work. I asked her if she ever played the piano. "Playing the piano is like eating meat."

FWIW there are people out there, more so all the time, who make it their work to produce properly raised meats using sustainable practices. I guess they still have the methane farts...

How is fields for crops that are devoid of any native plant life or wild animals better for nature than a free range cattle farm?

That's a sincere compliment in the land of the Vertical Cannibals. Enjoy guilt-free as I am free range, cage-free and grass fed.

Kaiser-Permanente is one of the larger health care organizations in the US. For the last two years, Kaiser has been recommending that their physicians encourage patients to adopt a plant-based diet and forego meat and dairy (sorry, but free-range and grass fed has no bearing on this). Obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease are largely due to lifestyle and changing diet can have a dramatic effect on these disorders:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3662288/


The objective of this article is to present to physicians an update on plant-based diets. Concerns about the rising cost of health care are being voiced nationwide, even as unhealthy lifestyles are contributing to the spread of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. For these reasons, physicians looking for cost-effective interventions to improve health outcomes are becoming more involved in helping their patients adopt healthier lifestyles. Healthy eating may be best achieved with a plant-based diet, which we define as a regimen that encourages whole, plant-based foods and discourages meats, dairy products, and eggs as well as all refined and processed foods. We present a case study as an example of the potential health benefits of such a diet. Research shows that plant-based diets are cost-effective, low-risk interventions that may lower body mass index, blood pressure, HbA1C, and cholesterol levels. They may also reduce the number of medications needed to treat chronic diseases and lower ischemic heart disease mortality rates. Physicians should consider recommending a plant-based diet to all their patients, especially those with high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or obesity.
