I've raised cows. You buy weaned littles for about $500 and graze them for two years to sell to the feedlot for about $1K. When you are buying the prices are always high, when you are selling, the prices they are low. Funny how that works.

i don’t believe the figures that they say are needed to make 4 ounces of meat. cows weigh 1200-1500 pounds. there’s no way those figures are accurate.

Ummm umh, real crispy bacon.

When rat meat goes on the menu, then I become a vegetarian. Still, I think in third world countries (soon to be the US if 0bama has his way!) I think it is already a staple.

If I was starving I would feel differently, but I currently have no interest in eating rat meat. If/when I come to the point where I had to to survive, I’m sure I could do it. If it comes to that, I would prefer mine boneless though...

In survival training in the Marine Corps you learn to eat anything you can catch...........What’s the difference between a squirrel and a rat? A fluffy tail..........

I’ve known dogs that would consider rat meat a delicacy. Since cat litter was.
Me, I even avoid crustaceans.
