I wonder if...hmmm. sorry the stir fry was a bummer. I wonder if you could resurrect it by turning it into a fried rice dish. Add some egg, tamari, maybe some pineapple? I bet the sauce would be great if you dipped chicken skewers in it, or as a marinade for chicken. I watched food inc the other week. Holy cow! modern day upton sinclair? doesn't quite have the weight of a well written book i think. Or we are just too addicted to the fast processing to do anything substantial about it. I was familiar with a lot of the practices, ie chickens too fat to stand etc from undergrad classes. But watching the cattle scenes was too much. I'm not a big meat eater, I like seafood mostly. I am pretty sure that I will only eat meat at my parents, from a local butcher after that film though.Whats on the menu for next sunday?qwerkyqookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04692365826588340976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-20109854836167334472009-12-08T21:45:51.779-06:002009-12-08T21:45:51.779-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.qwerkyqookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04692365826588340976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-17573894865178255752009-12-07T22:04:27.272-06:002009-12-07T22:04:27.272-06:00I've always just bough meat at the store.

Now they do a lot of their shopping at farmer's market, but more for produce than meat. I don't know where I'd have the option of buying meat directly from the source, but do think its something I'd love to try sometime.Shoshanahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707241263291051104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-20201446671751730132009-12-07T19:36:44.637-06:002009-12-07T19:36:44.637-06:00Have not seen the movie but I should.

I wish they would have shown more about the "positive" ways to shop. <br /><br />I am a partial vegetarian (couldn't give up my seafood!) and the main reason is because I don't agree with the way animals are raised and treated for the sole purpose of our consumption. Ever since I became a vegetarian though I have said that I would (theoretically) eat hunted meat because I feel that it is a natural and humane process. As I am also from ND, I grew up eating deer meet and local beef. Unfortunately, that is not common here in the pacific northwest though! <br /><br />Thanks for the post, I think it is important for people to be aware of!crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15144330347406193919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-79466870748454602552009-12-07T12:10:32.132-06:002009-12-07T12:10:32.132-06:00"in North Dakota; in that area, it is pretty ..."in North Dakota; in that area, it is pretty common for people to buy meat directly from a farmer who raises the cattle. At least that was the case for me growing up. Buying meat in a grocery store was a foreign concept for me." Yeah!!! that's the way it should be, you're not only being healthy, you're supporting your community.<br /><br />I have very strong feelings about food issues. Growing up in NJ I didn't know anything about animal farms, but it is such a part of our culture there to buy local produce. NJ has some of the best fruits and veggies (tomatoes, corn, berries, cranberries, eggplant, etc, etc) and in the summer you see farmstands everywhere, even in the city and everyone gets so excited to enjoy our local best!<br /><br />The way that we view food in this country is scary and needs to change. I am and will always be a meat eater, but it should be consumed in moderation just like everything else. I also believe very strongly in cruelty free meats; animals should be free range, not force fed and slaughteres as humanely as possible.<br /><br />I have an amazing local market near me that sells top quality meat and fish. It's a bit more expensive, but totallty worth it. No supermarket meat for me!Little Fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18310802293907380823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-12145556223722751552009-12-07T11:49:55.209-06:002009-12-07T11:49:55.209-06:00I have never tried Thai Peanut anything-but have s...I have never tried Thai Peanut anything-but have seen many recipes about it! I will have to try! LOoks delicious!<br /><br />I will also have to rent that movie! Sounds interesting.<br /><br />That is so funny about "meat buying". We just get our meat from the store, due to a lack of known butchers! <br /><br />The first time RYan sent me to the store to buy meat. I came back with all the wrong cuts, buys, everything. I had NO IDEA how to buy beef since it was just always packaged in our freezer from the cow we got yearly! <br /><br />Definitely miss that!Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06854266979976413979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-30335978657523277762009-12-07T10:21:40.536-06:002009-12-07T10:21:40.536-06:00I've heard a lot about Food Inc. and I think i...I've heard a lot about Food Inc. and I think it's fantastic that there are people out there educating consumers about what they're actually eating. The disconnect for so many people is so vast!<br /><br />We buy amazing free range local chickens for Mister and he loves the difference. If I had ever started eating meat I would definitely eat local- but thanks to my mom intervening I just never developed a taste for it.Kyla Romahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15522259960482023707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-55763771007493848142009-12-07T10:04:27.848-06:002009-12-07T10:04:27.848-06:00Did see "Food Inc." and kind of knew abo...Did see "Food Inc." and kind of knew about the industry from reading Pollan and seeing other documentaries.

I watched Food Inc. as well. What scared me about our nation's food before I watched that movie was only intensified. Yikes. We buy almost all of our meat from a local butcher. I want to attend Kevin's sausage making event to learn more about making my own as well. Coincidentally, I made Thai chicken with peanut sauce last week. It was quite good and we decided it was one to do again so I posted it on my recipe site.

I don't think there's anything wrong/unethical about eating meat (I think it's natural) as long as the animals are slaughtered HUMANELY. From what I've heard, Food Inc shows a very UN-humane side of the North American meat industry. I think buying local food is REALLY important not only because it's healthier for you and nicer for the animals but also because it supports the local economy!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185652640389232120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-76843794659719134852009-12-07T08:31:37.853-06:002009-12-07T08:31:37.853-06:00It depends on where we buy our meat.

Additionally, my grandfather hunts so deer meat (and sometimes elk meat when he's gone hunting out west) are staples in the colder months.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07840515813374990142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-6359569425294894902009-12-07T07:48:05.598-06:002009-12-07T07:48:05.598-06:00I haven't seen the movie, but OMG THAI PEANUT ...I haven't seen the movie, but OMG THAI PEANUT SAUCE.
