I swear, it's like a religion to some of these people. And when they preach to me about it, I say; "I'm sorry, I don't want any part of your religion/cult". I feel no guilt whatsoever about enjoying meat. And I laugh when I see city people preaching to us country folk about being more enviro friendly. After all, we live in the country, we don't want to abuse our habitat! I read the obligatory magazine article on which Christmas trees are most environmentally safe. Artificial? Nope, not biodegradable. Live trees you plant later? Nope, 9x out of ten they don't survive until they can be planted. The advice was to buy a cut tree, and after Christmas drive it to your re-cycle center for chipping. Good for city slickers, if you don't count all the natural resources they use to drive it there. But, ya know what us country folk do? We take it to the woods and lay it on the ground. It makes great rabbit habitat and the decaying tree is good for the soil. How's that for being environmentally friendly in a way "experts" never even thought of recommending? ENJOY your yummy pot roast, and begin thinking of all the ways you help the environment that experts who've never lived in the country don't even know about!mary from michigannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3092242790847663695.post-50315956050502393252010-01-14T06:59:31.581-08:002010-01-14T06:59:31.581-08:00Nothing better than a roast in the oven.
