this evening i went to the signing of the book Primal Cuts at the Butcher and Larder. there were not many people there and i got to chat for a while with the author, Marissa Guggiana. i knew hardly anything about her or her book when i arrived. a quick look through the book revealed the many recipes which could help guide me as i explore the preparation of meat. she told me there is a recipe for every part of each animal in this book!
through chatting with her i also found we had some similar experiences earlier in our lives relating to meat. she was vegan for a time and prescribed to the belief that meat consumption was flat out wrong, for many reasons. we both discovered the truth that it is industrial meat that is the problem, and that too much of value is lost when we forsake the traditions of holistic animal husbandry. i see now that our health and the health of our soils is at stake.
crop/pasture rotation can help us improve soils where they have already been depleted, while providing a continuous food source. sustainable pasture management is vital to maintaining the soils, which provide what we need to maintain our bodies. i am only just beginning to learn about these topics myself. by spreading this information, and sharing the vision of moving forward with holistic agricultural practices, i hope to benefit us all, including generations to come.
