Fast Food God's Way

It's called deer and duck, pheasant, and grouse and so on. They are all pretty fast. They are the good kind of fast food. Cargill doesn't make them, nor the plethora of other large food companies who've had e coli recalls lately. God does( makes them), and we do the harvest. Turns out, it seems, that bigger isn't better. Remember the back to the land movement in the late sixties and early seventies? I guess they were right about something.

If you don't hunt or fish or grow your own garden, it may good to know someone who does, especially if it's a really good friend, or spouse, sibling, or close neighbor. Or else start making some arrangements.

I've always felt that the production, harvest, preparation, and eating of food are some of the most basic of existential endeavors. Now more than ever we know that we can get sick and die from manufactured food with even the best of brand names. That is indeed existential, a life and death situation.

Study up. Pay attention.. Listen, watch, or read the news. Be aware of recalls. Learn more about food. Kill or harvest something and eat it. Go fishing.
