Oh, not at all! It’s just I hear this from people in their 30s who have gone through all sorts of food cultism and are now justifying normal meat-eating only if they raise and butcher their own animals. Like they invented it. It is every bit as hide bound as when they were veggies or vegans. They get together and split a heritage pig, but they also are progs living in Seattle or Chicago and would never live in the country and just live as farming people always have. They are still better than we are and they still hate Trump. _Their_ meat-eating is somehow purer than ours.
I am a carnivore who loves game. I just don’t make a big deal about it and I don’t think my diet confers spirituality. Nor does anyone else’s diet.
LOL! Oh, THOSE people. We used to have a daughter-in-law who used to be vegetarian. It was ok for her to eat the faux meat from the freezer, but not our harvested, home butchered venison.
I waited about a year (I was pretty sure by then that son #1 had decided she was the one-I approved) to tell her that all the chili, sloppy joes, hot dogs, lasagna, taco salad...all of it was venison. She took it really well...said son had kinda hinted that if she wanted to be purely veg-o-matic she shouldn’t eat anything with meat in it at our house.
Someday I’ll tell ya about being 8 mos pregnant and butchering about 60 chickens...in July.
So, ya I’m a snob when it comes to food. I like to know where it came from and who killed it. Hubby used to laugh about my 3-week rule. Any meat that we butchered (especially the chickens cos they all had names) had to sit in the freezer for 3 weeks until all traces of any humanistic traits I had given it were gone. So I bet he’s laughing his azz off in heaven, seeing that I’m out in the country on 5 perfectly-acceptable-for-chicken-farming acres and own not one chicken! I figure I’ve done the chicken thing. Now, a cow...that would be interesting!
