Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

Jim,

The reason meat is so "costly" in terms of resources is that we no longer produce it correctly. When our ancestors first domesticated animals, it was because they could eat foods WE could not, growing in places we could not farm. If you turn a herd of cattle out in hilly, rocky rangeland,(as was done in our American West) they will thrive and become tasty beef very easily and cheaply. Same herd of cows, kept in a pen and fed grain and alfalfa grown with water on arable land, is very expensive beef in terms of effort, resources, and actual money. It is also higher in fat. Unfortunately, our civilized palates have been trained to prefer the taste and texture of the feedlot beef.
