healthy meat comes from a healthy animal?
healthy meat comes from a healthy animal?
I heard someone on Quirks and quarks saying that there really was too much fat on domestic animals to be healthy.
I thought this was so simplistic as to be dangerous.
If the animal itself is not healthy, then we should be ashamed of ourselves. We have a duty of care.
If the animal is healthy, then it seems very strange that it should not be healthy for us. If it isn't then we probably
should be eating more of other things, rather than saying effectively that we should cut out the fat.
Of these, I think that very little work gets reported on whether we have healthy ( rather than disease free) animals.
Maybe that is the attraction of game nowadays.
The one animal that definitely has too much fat is humans. And I bet that is more to do with processed sugars,
and not fats.
