Are you a vegetarian, $tevie?
If not - knowing where your food comes from is actually a valuable thing. NOT knowing, or turning a blind eye to our food-sources only serve to dull the experience of eating.
Today, mick e is taking his two lambs to the butcher. He will miss them - at least until the first serving of Leg-Of -Lamb hits the dinner table. They are funny little guys and they had a wonderful, albeit short life bounding about on the e Farm pastures. However, it is time for them to serve the purpose for which they have been bred. Their purpose is to be food.
There is nothing more eye-opening than knowing your dinner, or satisfying. Many people think this is insane, but it really connects a person with their diet, consumption, and nutrition. Since he has been growing and raising his own food, mick e has learned to really appreciate and value what goes into a meal. The knowledge of the work it takes to plant, harvest and prepare a good dinner simply makes it taste better.
