Genesis 1:29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.
I didn't know pot roast was bad Good thing I haven't had any. I CAN HARDLEY WAIT TILL 2MORROW 2 C HOW RODGERS WEIGH IN WILL GO. I know everybody feels the same way.
My husband's second job is "hunting."... He goes every weekend to GA during hunting season (except the two weekends when the Jazz festival is taking place in Clearwater).
CQ, I wish they had jazz festivals in Alaska. If they're out there, I've been missing them! I'm looking forward to the next Kenny G concert~ I never miss his fantastic shows!
I've always wanted to go on an Alaskan cruise. I did see Alaska from the air on my way to Japan a few years ago. Russia too. That was kinda neat. Venison is so much better than grain fed animals we get in stores. My husband keeps talking about taking up hunting.
I have been buying ground Bison (at Wal-Mart). They can't put bison in feed lots, so they are free-range, grass fed and if you can believe the label, no antibiotics or hormones.

I buy Bison at Publix when we run out of venison which isn't very often. I've also seen it at SweetBay. I haven't checked Wal-mart or Sam's.
I don't like to buy regular beef in the stores because as soon as it starts to cook, it has a funky smell ...at least I think so. My husband can't smell it. Anyway, it turns me off and I have to find something else to eat.
I'll have to keep my eyes open for bison! Thanks, Linda, for that input. I do have someone who sells grass fed beef, but won't have anything for me until the fall -- so until then, I just buy what is available in stores. At least we have improved our eating in other ways, though. It would be wonderful if the food industry got their act together and did stuff right, though. We can only dream, because it isn't going to happen.
Just a warning, the Bison, even at walmart is pricey. Nearly 7.00/pd. Oh well, it does make a tasty taco soup! And, CQ, it does smell and taste like the beef I remembered as a child.

Yes, the bison is pricey but well worth it. It doesn't have that funny smell like the store bought regular beef and I can enjoy my meal without losing my cookies.
I just hope my husband continues to be quite fortunate on his future hunting trips to GA. This past hunting season he only came home once without anything. He said he could have shot the buck he saw but it was only a six point and he prefers an eight or higher.
Crickadoodle, you're lucky to have someone in your area that can provide you with healthy beef...even if it means having to wait until Fall.
