One of the main reasons I choose to live in a remote area is the ability to grow my own stuff, barter for other fresh stuff, and buy free range, grass fed poultry beef and pork at a local butcher shop-no hormones, feed lot, etc. When I lived in the city because of my husband’s job, I missed the taste of natural, healthy food-growing up on a ranch, I didn’t eat any of those pasty white, tasteless chickens until I went to college.
I prefer to grill the meat I eat over charcoal, steam fresh veggies, add herbs and pepper instead of salt and some butter-which one of my neighbors has for sale/trade on most weekends.
The frankenfoods-whether animal or vegetable-just don’t have enough flavor and texture to be edible when cooked in a simple, healthy way-no wonder people chop, pound, soak, bread, fry and drench them in all sorts of flour-based sauce to give them some flavor. That also gives them enough empty calories and carbs to contribute to obesity, but I doubt most people think about that...

You are making me really hungry. Time to log-off and eat.
