This is my dream: To live as my forefathers once did - in harmony with the land that sustains us. A project to investigate and innovate the creation of a low impact home with methods of living in a form of permaculture designed to sustain my family and improve biodiversity. To leave the land richer than before and in doing so enable others to do so.

Ethical Food is Tasty Food
Posted 20/12/08 by Matt B in the Feeding Yourself category
At the time of writing this post I had no idea what I was going to be serving my family on Christmas day. Things are, and probably will be when you read this (which is the future for me), far more complicated than this sentence. Also my family and I are meat eaters...Yep okay nice to see you. That was half the readers of the blog leaving in disgust because I eat meat. I have teath designed for eating meat and vegtables, a digestive system that is likewise attuned and I live in a culture that is set up this way. I'm just being "normal".
The problem is that I am, in leaving things so late, even less likely to obtain an ethically reared bird than I am a fresh one. So finding a fresh one is a big challenge and finding a free range, natural one is quite unlikely but as Dan Barber presents "A surprising parable of foie gras" you will see that ethical food is often the best, the most sustainable and so, frankly, the only sane choice.
