venison and cheap food

[Guest guest]

I know the deer eat some grain and I know that some farmers probably use GMO

corn, but I do not think it is used as much as in other places. I know the meat

will not be perfect, but it is cheap. We can afford this meat. Some of you on

this list must spend as much on food a year as what our annual household income

is!

Trying to eat well is very expensive. I do not think it should be. I commend the

people that wrote in saying they charged about the same for their milk as the

price in the store. I think this is wonderful. The dairy farmer is getting more

than what he would get if he sold it to a creamery and the people are able to

purchase nutritious food without the added yuppy costs. I really disagree with

the person who wrote in telling this farmer they should sell their milk for

more! Why make nutrition unatainable for the average person? I really think the

goal should be to share with as many people as we can about nutrition and health

not keep it from people in the name of making a huge profit. I think everyone

should make an honest income for their product and some people should make more

than others, but why charge an arm and a leg just because you can? Most people

that I share information with their number one complaint is that it costs too

much. Number two is of course the work.

Dear Carol.

It's funny you should write about this because I have a letter from another

person telling me about how much grain that these deer eat!

Deer truly in the wild get some grains at the end of the summer--this is

natural and helps them prepare for the winter. But the genetically modified

grain will not be very healthy and they are also very highly sprayed. What a

shame.

Here we can buy frozen venison from new Zealand. This is " domesticated " but

only pasture fed.

So you are right--eat the deer fromMaine but not from the corn belt. Sally
