CHAPTER 11


the cows are grazed on fields of grass, and rotated through these fields which in turn keeps the grass healthy.  after the cows graze the chickens go over the field spreading the cow manure and cleaning it so it can fertilize the grass also helping with the grasses health. in other words the animals do the work. all of them rely on one another to keep everything running smoothly. even the grass and the forest is part of it all.

CHAPTER 12


most slaughter houses wont even let people onto the  kill floor, Joel's slaughter house doesn't even have walls. the people who buy his food have the option to stop by and see their meat being killed. they have this option because it is don't humanly and while most people wont take up this offer the mear fact that it is an option shows Joel and his farm's integrity. the animals are killed quickly with little to no pain and they do not suffer as animals in conventional "farms" (really factories) do.

CHAPTER 13


Food from a farm such as this is likely to cost more than the conventional stuff and some people just aren't willing to pay that. but why is the question? in a  nation that spends spends spends why is food the only thing we are not willing to splurge on? when you take into account all the unnecessary things americans pay for, like t.v.,  cell phones, cars, etc. how come they  are not willing to pay  a bit more for food which is quite necessary and truthfully will cost the much less in the long run?

CHAPTER 14


The government and the food industry would like us to believe that food is food. chicken is chicken and beef is beef. in other words the processed (and tortured) chickens you buy in the supermarket is just as good as the chickens raised on a farm like Pollyface. this is just not true. when chickens come from a place like that where they get all the nutrients they would get in nature and not only does this in turn give us the nutrients we need from them but it also tastes like it should. conventional food is grown on chemicals, hormones and corn and even fed bits of other dead animals. Polyface chicken is raised on  grass sun and bugs.


CHAPTER 15


there is much more behind being a hunter than meets the eye . because society has moved away from nature there is no longer enough protein in the world to accommodate should the human population suddenly decode to return to its hunter gatherer roots. society has also installs taboos that keep us safe while in nature. like my fear of poisonous mushrooms thanks to my mothers immutable warnings as a child. to hunt or forge these days most people,such as myself,  would need some sort of field guide to navigate the natural world. after searching for this kind of field guide i came across an Italian friend who was perfect or the job. now all i had to do was take the course and get my hunter ID and id be catching my own dinner in no time. providing i could shoot and kill it. 


CHAPTER 16


the omnivores dilemma is an almost archaic problem that has come back at america with force. the problem of what to eat should become less of a problem if you have a hole human culture as a guide to what's good. with the development of society the omnivores dilemma should fade into the background. but today in America is is very much the foreground of every meal. being such a young nation that never had a strong culture around food, instead adopting things here and there from immigrant cultures that populate america. in France with their deep rooted food-ways people are much more aware of what they eat and what is good to eat and are much less plagues by the omnivores dilemma. since the omnivores dilemma is so prevalent in america and there was no set cultural food-ways, it was easy for people looking to make money to convince people that had the mericle answer to the omnivores dilemma. this lead to a new era of franticness about food. everyone has their own opinion about what you should eat. but none of it really looks that healthy when you get down to it. maybe e should learn from france?
