I buy from coops whenever possible, and as local as I can find - if not locally grown, then at least semi-locally processed (i.e King Arthur flour from Vermont). I also completely support homesteaders who grow their own, process their own, hunt their own meat, and so on. It's just not the choice I've made. I think the important thing is, one way or another, to step away from the consumer culture of meat. For me that's an environmental motive, and reducing meat in general for me "counts more" than local protein. And if I were pregnant or nursing, it could conceivably change things somewhat.eliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11989641609668705118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-2961209848558886742007-11-26T11:23:00.000-06:002007-11-26T11:23:00.000-06:00Huh.

I was wondering where you got a jar big enough for a vegetarian homesteader but that's not what you meant.<BR/><BR/>*grin*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
