Quote:Given these two options are impossible (and they are right now, if you intend to feed an entire population), then I'd say free-grazing animals like deer are likely to reduce suffering. If you kill a very large deer or elk, your family will eat for quite a long time. Because you are not feeding it grain (which would involve killing the same voles and so on as if you ate the grain yourself), then the mortal cost of the meat is relatively small.Grass fed beef, free range poultry (legitimately free range, not the marketing sticker, lol), pond raised freshwater and marine products.
There are options that we can exercise to make our food more consistent with our values, whatever they may be. The existence of a producer who you can feel confident in when it comes to making methodological choices in line with an assumed set of values is only limited by community support. Talk to your neighbors and like minded friends. Find a producer, become one.
