This has been batted around here before. If I have it right then in some states you can't do this for the health laws.
And then there's trans fats. Does venison have trans fats? Or too much salt? Maybe the deer have been to a salt lick. ;-)
Seriously, I'm all for feeding excess deer and Canadian Geese to the needy.
Natural trans fats are good for you according to that website. I can't say one way or the other.
The "bad" trans fats are man made. Hydrogen is added to polyunsaturated fatty acids to make trans fats.
Wikipedia seems to do a decent job when it doesn't involve politics. I didn't read all of it at Wikipedia. What I did read agrees with what I remember from school.
As long as you had proper meat processing and inspection, I can’t imagine it being very illegal, as far as venison are concerned.
Geese are a lot harder, because they are under the Federal Migratory Bird Act of 1918, which never considered the possibility that someday there might be too many geese, or that the geese might become non-migratory. (Insert coconut joke here.)
Of the two, it was long thought that goose grease was bad for you, but this is not the case.
