Wild Idea Buffalo - Slow Food Nation

No Wild Idea Recipe this week but a very good article from the wildideaoffice.



Slow Food Nation
By: wildideaoffice



It is no secret that America has been labeled as the “Fast Food Nation”. Countless amounts of literature and film materials have been published to draw attention to the faults in the average American diet, which has been linked to, and resulted from our nation’s problematic agricultural system and most importantly, factory farming. Oh yes, most of us know about factory farming and probably associate it with the gruesome videos that animal rights activists have been sharing with us- even before these issues became en-vogue.

The truth is, factory farming is a real issue. Luckily, there are a couple of ways we can make a difference, and they do not necessarily involve becoming a vegetarian, let alone a vegan. Although both of those are viable options. We would be crazy if we told you to cut out meat completely, rather we suggest slowing down for the sake of sustainability.  We do believe in meat. High-quality meat, and this is where Wild Idea Buffalo comes in – here is how:

The more variety you add to the types of meat you consume in your diet, the less farmers will depend on factory farming. If you appreciate a good steak, or a well prepared chicken breast, you’ll love Buffalo meat.
Our Buffalo are 100% grass fed and freely roam in their natural environment on the Great Plains of South Dakota. Our Buffalo are humanely Field Harvested on the prairie in a stress free environment for the animals.
Every aspect, from the farming process, to preparing and eating Wild Idea Buffalo meat represents our idea of slow food. The only aspect of fast food we will show you, is our selection of pre-marinated, heat & eat products made with all organic ingredients.
Wild Idea strives to respect and use every part of our Buffalo during processing and never waste what can be used. The bones, for example, can be used for excellent broths and the bone marrow makes for exquisite dishes, which are frequently prepared in major culinary hotspots.
So, Slow-Down and choose foods that have been given the time and space to grow naturally. We believe you’ll appreciate going slowly for a change.
