I must admit, though, I do have deer hunters in my family and I'm generally one of those folks guilty of "eating on the go" all the time. :)<br />Your inclusion of Christianity in your post was a nice touch as well, given that it was written on Good Friday and just before Easter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781993243545658588.post-697727985489265832011-04-25T14:31:32.066-07:002011-04-25T14:31:32.066-07:00Great post!

While I admit that I don't live very close to the land, I do really see the value in such a lifestyle.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10615368861635447747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781993243545658588.post-44552376468979392682011-04-24T22:46:37.696-07:002011-04-24T22:46:37.696-07:00Another really thoughtful and enjoyable post.

Before I made it that far in your post, I was already wondering if we (by 'we', I guess I mean most Americans including myself) take advantage of nature because we have grown so apart from the effort of individually providing (food, shelter, etc.) for ourselves. (How easy is it to overlook the ills of factory farming--for the land, the animals, and us--for example, when all we know is a fully stocked grocery store shelf?)
