Half of the hipsters are still vegan and most of the others probably prefer that our industrialized society makes it possible to consume their meat in nugget-form instead of looking like what it came from.<br />But the temptation to eat local meat and produce while drinking a bottle of French/Argentinean/Italian wine is pretty great... :)Lady Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180217087583403105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302051872586096559.post-15961829204263515532009-12-03T13:53:48.141-08:002009-12-03T13:53:48.141-08:00Sometimes I worry about this whole locally-sourced...Sometimes I worry about this whole locally-sourced trend going a bit too far. I'm all for people learning more about where their food comes from, but imagine if all those city hipsters suddenly took up hunting. There's simply not enough wildlife to support it. There's hardly any deer in southern california as it is, so hopefully when everyone here starts hunting they'll try for wild pigs. Or rats. Or pigeons. And then use them wisely and not buy all kinds of other ingredients for their meals that aren't locally grown or hard on the environment or ridiculously expensive. And realize that it's not "free" but they are taking from the planet and from everyone who shares this earth with them, so maybe they don't need SIX deer. Not that everyone will start hunting all at once, but these are the things that nag at the back of my mind more often than I want them to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
