Check out this talk by psychologist Dr Georgia Ede <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UR7H9xeMYME&amp;feature=youtu.be\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\">On our permaculture farm with 90 different fruit and nut species , veges, eggs , dairy from Jerseys, fungi, pork, beef and lamb, the most sustainable food we produce is the grassfed beef and lamb. Our cattle and sheep do not eat anything but grass. They are not to blame for\u00a0 deforestation\u00a0 of the Amazon or\u00a0 logging of any other forests . They fertilize their own paddocks, additionally we make compost and compost tea&#8230;. buy no fertilizer. Nor has ploughing , herbicide , fungicide or any other icide been used to the produce our beef and lamb. The cows belch very little methane as they are rotationally grazed on good quality pasture, plus the healthy living soil contains methantrophic bacteria which converts CH4 to harmless plant food. Perennial pasture sequesters more carbon than forests according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazingcarbon.com\/\">Dr Christine Jones.\u00a0<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-528\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/merribee.swcomputerlab.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/27023554_1994849067435959_5942251832414516619_o1.jpg?resize=1000%2C750&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"27023554_1994849067435959_5942251832414516619_o\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/merribeeorganicfarm.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/27023554_1994849067435959_5942251832414516619_o1.jpg?w=2040&amp;ssl=1 2040w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/merribeeorganicfarm.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/27023554_1994849067435959_5942251832414516619_o1.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/merribeeorganicfarm.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/27023554_1994849067435959_5942251832414516619_o1.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/merribeeorganicfarm.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/27023554_1994849067435959_5942251832414516619_o1.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/merribeeorganicfarm.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/27023554_1994849067435959_5942251832414516619_o1.jpg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/> It takes much, much more water to grow our kale than to grow the beef. Electricity for coolroom and lighting comes from solar panels. Great numbers of celebrities and scientists are spreading misinformation about meat, the very thing that sequesters the most carbon into the soil via perennial pasture&#8230;.reminds me of the expensive, relentless campaigns in mass media for acceptance of GMOs! Hordes of people on a\u00a0 plant based diet\u00a0 is just what Monsanto\/Bayer Crop Science want. Think of the chemical sales to horticulture and croppers growing\u00a0 veges, pulses , sugar, oils and grains. Conventionally these crops use huge amounts of fertilizer , pesticides,\u00a0 farm machinery etc to grow. Then Bayer Health profits from sales of dietary supplements REQUIRED by vegans, plus the medications they take to manage symptoms of chronic metabolic disease their diet often generates &#8230;..eg antidepressant sales for anxiety and depression, IVF programs, acne creams, cancer treatment. So many diseases relate to vitamin deficiencies on a vegan diet. Factor in fossil fuel to package and transport soy milk and coconut products worldwide.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Let&#8217;s replace the phrase &#8220;plant based diet &#8221; which is popping up everywhere as somehow indicating something virtuous with the words &#8221; local organic diet&#8221;, which really is virtuous .

With the beef quarters, rather than selling specific cuts, each customer will get an equal quarter share of the whole body when purchasing a quarter of beef.
