In search of San Diego beef and poultry
According to Iowa Meats Farm/Siesel's anyone who wants to find local meat is not a REAL foodie. I get their Newsletter and the December Newsletter and attacked this article and anyone who doesn't want animals to suffer or want to help their community and the environment by buying locally. Here is what they said: In the November 18th issue of the “Reader”, there was a lengthy article called “Local Moo, Local Cluck For Foodies”. The author attempts to explain why “local” meat products aren’t available here in San Diego. Although she does a fair job of doing that, it’s apparent that neither she, nor the people she interviews, have a true understanding of what it takes to produce the kind of meats we want in the center of our table. What they say sounds good, but it ignores reality. When talking about beef, they equate “local” and “grassfed” with “good”. They ignore the four elements for tender, flavorful beef. They are youth, inactivity, proper feed, and proper aging. It’s all rational, logical, and posted on our website for the world to see! We have seen this lack of true understanding in articles, blogs, and posted comments on review websites. It prompted us to coin a new phrase: “FAUX (as in phony) FOODIES”. By definition, these are people who learn the terms, but don’t know what they mean! They are the “culinarily correct”. They don’t appreciate food, they talk about it! This is why we really, really appreciate all of you. You, like us, are the true foodies. Your knowledge and understanding are what make this whole thing work. You keep us on our toes and always make us strive to do things better and better.— December 10, 2010 2:47 p.m.
