Ethanol follies Part II: Sourcing affordable meat.
jtno...@yahoo.com
grocery prices boosted by political meddling in the food supply. But
feed prices for livestock are up, raising meat prices. The carnivore
DNA in me rules out complete vegetarianism, so in comes a 'burb
version of the "Call of the Wild". I get out my trusty Benjamin .22
Air pellet gun from my youth memory closet, and head down to a nearby
Jack in the Box fast food joint in the wee hours of the morning before
the opening crew gets there. The big, fat, lazy transfat larded
pigeons are loping around the dumpster, too obese to fly much, barely
able to run for too big a gut. I pop the first one, and hit the second
one wit a well-aimed baseball before the rest can get away. I run over
and snap their necks, and into the Wal-mart bag they go. Once home, I
gut them, entrails into the cat's bowl, cut out the breast meat, roll
the filets in cornmeal, and into the frying pan they go. Served with
hash browns and a slice of melon, the day hs started with a great
breakfast.-Jitney

'Political meddling' aint the reason for anything but the increase in the price of corn.

Grow rats and eat them.

And next time the cops will show up and gun
you down because you're obviously a terrorist.

Ask at your local Kentucky Fried Rat operation.

I'll second the other feller, it's better to raise your own.
You never know where urban wildlife has been or what it's
been eating and hunting, especially with firearms of any kind,
is strongly discouraged inside cities.
There are any number of fast growing small animals that can
be raised at home. You will need to feed them something, of
course, but you are growing a food supply after all.
I've heard stories of people raising worms not only for their
protein but also for their castings. Worm poo is supposed to
make excellent fertilizer and is much valued for anyone trying
to grow things, like their own food. One advantage of these
things is that they're naturally boneless. You can eat the
whole thing and nothing goes to waste.

Its been many years since I dove hunted but the breasts were fine eating
- bread stuffing is a good side dish...

'Course if you find the worms too unappetizing in their native form,
you could always toss them into a barrel of catfish or tilapia to
transform them into a more palatable form of protein.

Albert Hoffman died the other day. I have read some accounts that say
he has united many people because of his career.
