Our friends at Hardwick Beef are all over a story just out in Time about how eating more grass-fed beef is actually good for climate change.
Last spring, we took a couple vanfuls of cityfolks out to Hardwick to meet the cows and Ridge Shinn, the farmer & the brains behind Hardwick Beef. We’re pleased to have Ridge coming to Jamaica Plain on February 18th to speak about what he does. Details to come.
There’s a lot of chicken eatin’ going on in this world. There’s a collective idea out there that it’s more humane, we think. Or healthier because…it’s not bloody when it gets to the consumer? But the reality with local chicken is that we’re feeding them lots o’ imported grains. So they’re not exactly local. Better than battery chickens for sure, but not as sustainable as cows who eat nothing more than grass.
I was on the trip to see the happy cows…
Anyways, I really like when the article mentioned it’s the best to work along with the nature system as it used to be and should be. “Tofu made with soy bean from Brazil”…that’s a good assumption to speak to vegetarian extremists.
God create things that are edible, thus we should enjoy but not too much at a time… so, we and the planet both stay healthy
