Salad Bar Beef

The Author's Introduction:
In a day when beef is assailed by many environmental organizations and lauded by fast-food chains, a new paradigm to bring reason to this confusion is in order.  With farmers leaving the land in droves and plows poised to "reclaim" set-aside acres, it is time to offer an alternative that is both land and farmer friendly.

Beyond that, the salad bar beef production model offers hope to rural communities, to struggling row-crop farmers, and to frustrated beef eaters who do not want to encourage desertification, air and water pollution, environmental degradation and inhumane animal treatment.  Because this is a program weighted toward creativity, management, entrepreneurism and observation, it breathes fresh air into farm economics.

The yearning for a comfortable living from a pleasant life in the country is pandemic, as is the desire within folks to reconnect to the land and east clean, nutritious food.  The salad bar beef paradigm speaks to these issues with answers that escape band-aid problem solvers.  I do not have all the answers, but this approach offers a positives perspective on a topic that generally receives nothing but negativism and railing.

It is my hope that this book will challenge the very foundations of America's agriculture and provide some creative alternatives to conventional wisdom.  Yesterday's battles over DDT will pale as we enter the era of genetic engineering and more insidious food processing manipulations.  The herbivore and grass relationship is an important ecological building block.  For the sake of health--ecological, human and societal--the salad bar beef model cries out for acceptance.

The sooner we adopt it, the better.

Though the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vines, [though] the product of the olive fails and the fields yield no food, though the flock is cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the [victorious] God of my salvation! [Rom 8:37.]  The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds' feet and will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon my high places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]!  Habakkuk 3:17-19 AMP
