Meat

The <i>New York Times</i> recently ran an online essay contest about the ethics of eating meat. Thousands of entries were reduced to six finalists, published here: <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/04/20/magazine/ethics-eating-meat.html">Put Your Ethics Where Your Mouth Is</a>. Among them, one point of view favoring ethical meat consumption created a real learning experience for me. The surprising argument in favor of ethical meat-eating is that farming vegetables is impractical without animals. Here is the paragraph, by a former vegetarian, that I find most convincing: <br /><blockquote>"I became interested in growing vegetables and found myself apprenticing on a farm in Massachusetts. Still a vegetarian, I was surprised to learn that we amended soil fertility by applying bone and blood meal, both slaughterhouse byproducts, and we regularly dipped young transplants in fish emulsion. I realized then what farmers have known forever: the domestication of animals and the cultivation of vegetables go hand in hand. Growing vegetables is an inherently extractive process, removing nutrients from the soil, so a sustainable system requires other inputs to replace them. Every backyard gardener knows that animal manure enriches the soil, so it should come as little surprise that the animal-vegetable connection is so basic that it’s built into the words themselves: the word 'manure' is rooted in the Latin <i>manuopera</i>, meaning manual work. Through my first season on the farm, I gradually came to terms with the idea that using animal byproducts made good sense, especially in contrast to the alternative of synthetic chemical fertilizers."</blockquote>This author concludes: "There is an ethical option — a responsibility, even — for eating animals that are raised within a sustainable farm system and slaughtered with the compassion necessitated by our relationship."<br /><br /> Another excellent article among the top six states: <br /><blockquote>"While most present-day meat production is an ecologically foolish and ethically wrong endeavor, happily this is changing, and there are abundant examples of ecologically beneficial, pasture-based systems. The fact is that most agroecologists agree that animals are integral parts of truly sustainable agricultural systems. They are able to cycle nutrients, aid in land management and convert sun to food in ways that are nearly impossible for us to do without fossil fuel. If 'ethical' is defined as living in the most ecologically benign way, then in fairly specific circumstances, of which each eater must educate himself, eating meat is ethical, in fact NOT eating meat may be arguably unethical."</blockquote>And I also find this statement of the issue enlightening:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">"We need to seek balance in our land and in our kitchens. However, I also ask my vegetarian friends to consider that if they are eating eggs, then someone had to cull the roosters or mature hens, and I hope those animals were not wasted. If they are drinking dairy, someone had to cull the males from the herd, since a world where every animal is maintained would be unsustainable. And if there are no animal inputs on the farms, then that energy has to come from fossil fuels and other nonorganic sources."</blockquote>I'm familiar with the usual discussions of animal welfare, planetary welfare, and global human welfare. I had often heard these questions, asked by several of the contestants:<br /><br /><ul><li>Is it ever ok to slaughter a living being?</li><li>Do cows or pigs or chickens know what's happening to them?</li><li>Is meat eating "natural" for humans?</li><li>Does a vegan diet in humans lead to brain damage or other deficiencies?</li><li>Does the raising of grain-eating animals for some populations cause other humans to starve for lack of the grain that feeds the animals?</li><li>Is large-scale meat agriculture ruining the planet because of rain-forest destruction, methane gas production, toxic runoff, or whatever?</li><li>Is small-scale meat-raising sustainable and would it be less ruinous to the planet?</li></ul><br />But I found the common-sense approach of asking about farming vegetables without animals very fascinating.

Passover is Coming Soon

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12003515@N05/6875265634/" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; " title="jwc9377 by mesander2000, on Flickr"><img alt="jwc9377" height="480" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7116/6875265634_6bd9109c8c_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <br />Last night I attended a wonderful baking demonstration by Lori Shepard, chef and owner of a catering company called <a href="http://www.simplyscrumptiouscatering.com/">Simply Scrumptious Catering</a>. <div><span><span style="font-size: 100%;"> <br /></span></span></div><div><span><span style="font-size: 100%;">Above, you can see the demo table which had been painstakingly prepared by Lori (left) and Esther, our hostess. Throughout her demo, Lori fielded questions from attendees, who included novice cooks as well as those who were highly experienced. She showed a number of techniques, such as beating the egg mixture for a Mexican flan, folding the dry and then the wet ingredients into beaten egg whites (to prevent them from deflating), tapping a pan of cake batter before baking (to remove oversize air bubbles), and turning a cake upside down with a bottle in the center of a tube pan (to prevent the cake from sinking as it cools). Lori showed us an incredible variety of Passover desserts. Some were conventionally kosher for Passover; others were ultra-kosher, meaning they not only were free of flour, corn products, and leavening, but didn't even contain any matzo products. <br /> <br />Though I do not change dishes or remove any foods from my home or from my diet during Passover, I was fascinated by the demo. Passover, I believe, ties all Jews together, whether they are secular and minimally observant like me, or like Esther, who is highly observant. Esther reminded us that among many meanings, Passover represents the birth of the Jewish people. In her view, the careful and limited diet at Passover represents the care with which one feeds a newborn baby! <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12003515@N05/6875268842/" title="jwc9381 by mesander2000, on Flickr"><img alt="jwc9381" height="480" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7187/6875268842_9f05d92cec_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <br /> <br />The ingenuity of Passover desserts also fascinates me. Without careful thought, what baked goods could be made without flour or leavening? And for those who keep kosher there's the added requirement that a meat meal (the usual choice for the Seder) include only non-dairy desserts. Well, in the photo above, you can see three classics -- left to right: sponge cake, carmel fudge torte (in Lori's extraordinary version), orange and nut torte with non-dairy frosting. Everyone was offered full-sized portions of every dish -- I opted for small bites, but we were made welcome to also take home what we couldn't eat. <br /> <br />My friend Abby is the master of the nut torte, but otherwise among the versions of these desserts, Lori's were far better than most that I remember. These three cakes, along with some extraordinary brownies, were waiting for the participants when we arrived; we also watched demonstrations and tasted several other baked goods. <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12003515@N05/7021369097/" title="jwc9376 by mesander2000, on Flickr"><img alt="jwc9376" height="480" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7259/7021369097_561dfd3b1d_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <br /> <br />Also on the demo table, were both basic and unusual ingredients for Passover baking. The usual: matzo cake flour, nuts, eggs, coconut milk (to substitute for heavy cream), lemons, and oranges. Unexpected: confectioner's sugar made without cornstarch; vanilla extract made without grain alcohol; specially handled chocolate and cocoa powder. For pie crusts, Lori makes her own graham crackers from Passover ingredients -- another unexpected item. <br /> <br />Lori's Simply Scrumptious Catering provides meals or pastry for weddings, family reunions, business meetings, holiday parties, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, and many other celebrations. Menu choices include a variety of ethnic and American dishes; while she offers kosher catering, she also does lots of work outside this area.</div>
