IDBillzFan Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 No question, I love animals. Preferably just off the grill, with a side of creamy mashed potatoes and prosciutto-wrapped asparagus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeYouToTasker Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 An animal's only jobs are to taste good what I eat it, look good when I wear it, and to stay the !@#$ off the couch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I've changed how I feel about how livestock are raised. Driving up the 5 freeway between LA and SF you drive by Harris Ranch. You see cows jammed together and it's kind of disgusting. And that's before the smell hits you. Once I moved to Northern CA I've had the chance to see how the ranches are mostly here out in Marin and Sonoma. Whether they livestock is for meat or to produce milk for cheese you get a whole different perspective on it. I've visited several dairies seeing I've been making my own chesse and it's quite refreshing to see how they are handled and treated. I've spoken with ranchers seeing I also make my own sausages and cure my own meats and I'd rather not use crap from the grocery store so I'm always looking for what's fresh and available. Is it more expensive? Hell yeah but well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was cars and pollution controls I might understand, but with eggs I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may prefer that my food it raised humanly if someone else wants to eat food raised in horrendous condition the should be allowed to. This is another case of government presenting laws without thinking of the consequences. The government forcing people/businesses to do certain things drives me nucking futz.
