    I have no issue with animal protein, but I have been lowering my intake over time. I'm all into the free run yada yada yada stuff. Vegetables have a bad rap, mainly from the previous generations...

    Vegetables have a bad rap, mainly from the previous generations not knowing how to prepare them properly. Something as simple and delicious as brussels sprouts are hated or feared by so many people. It's completely irrational.

    Okay, in this next line I am going to link a video that is a homekill / onsite breakdown. It's gory and can be disturbing if you've never seen something like this before...

    With animals, I think it's important that people understand the full process of how these animals are raised and broken down into primal cuts. I may be alone in this, but I think it's important to accept the somewhat violent nature of this. Here's a video of a homekill / primal cut break down. The conditions this specific cow lived in were pretty much ideal and this breakdown is as close to humane as you can go. Is this process disturbing? It can seem that way -- but this is what I feel we need to accept if we're going to consume these animals.

    It's so minor, but getting into tripe, beef tongue, etc is also important. We should honor these animals by consuming as much as absolutely possible. When prepared properly, these other parts are delicious -- but like brussels sprouts, you have to try it :)
