Chapter 17: One day I decided to use some of the eggs on Joel's farm. Just to see what the difference was like. When I ate the eggs I really noticed that their was a difference in taste between the eggs in a farm and the ones in a grocery store. The main difference was actually the yolk thats in the egg because it is much thicker then store bought eggs yolk. A gem was there is a difference between farm raised salmon and salmon that is from the wild. A question I have is it that is it better have wild salmon or farm raised salmon?
Chapter 18: The one more meal that I wanted to make was a meal grown with all of my grown, gathered and hunted food. Although a lot of modern americans think they don't hunt food they actually do. I had never been hunting until now and I was still deciding wether or not to do it. A gem in this chapter for me was that a lot of americans don't hunt anymore since they don't have any need to. A question that I have is that if americans don't need to hunt anymore then how come some americans still do hunt?
Chapter 19: Animal rights programs don't eat meet not because its bad for them but because an animal had to die for it. They still do eat eggs and drink milk but that is because the animal was not harmed or killed for the egg or the milk to be made. On the poly face farm they say they try their best for their animals not to suffer. A gem in the chapter for me was that the food industry use's the word "stress" instead of "suffer" when talking about the animals. A question i have is why do you think poly face farm cares about how their animals are treated?
Chapter 20: The reason that the meal i made was the perfect meal for me was because i made it with food that i hunted myself. I feel that when you go through all that trouble to make gather all your food when its all done you feel so much better about yourself. My main course was a wild california pig which i was cooking for my guide angelo and others. Although my guests might have not liked the taste I still enjoyed the meal that I made. A gem in this chapter was that even though others didn't enjoy his meal he still did. A question I have is why did the author choose to go through the trouble of making his own food? Was it for the experience or to prove a point?
Chapter 21: As a hunter gatherer there were certain skills that I needed to know besides hunting. Another skill that I needed was gathering. Since the meal that I wanted to make in this case included mushrooms I needed to know skills on gathering mushrooms for the meal. Picking mushrooms in the woods is different then picking mushrooms in your backyard. Much more fun and much more dangerous. You can get lost looking in the woods since you don't know specifically what you are looking for. A gem in this chapter for me was that there is something called a hunter gatherer because I always assumed that in the process of hunted gathering was usually included. A question I have is why did the author chose to make a meal with mushrooms in it? Was he interested in mushrooms before the book? or what gave him the idea to use them?
Chapter 22: Finally I was almost done with my "perfect" meal. The date I set for the dinner was saturday june 18. To make sure it was perfect I had developed a list to make sure I did everything I wanted for it to be the perfect meal. If I say so myself my requirements for myself are pretty fair. I am doing this with all hunted and gathered materials to show that I don't have to spend any money to prepare the perfect meal. A gem in this paragraph was that the author could make a perfect meal out of fresh prepared found items. That just shows how important it is that people have food and how food can really be made out of things you find in the woods. A question I have is if he could make such a meal the way he did why don't others do the same thing?
