This is a non-judgmental informative thread. About hot dogs.

What was the thread about again?

How fisting goats became a national past time for the Irish and how the Welsh just came on through and ruined it for everyone.

These threads are mental. People are so misinformed about food it shocks me.

Yes. You can get cheap sausages where they are made of random body parts, but are mostly bloated out with bread like substances. But you can also get decent sausages made with good cuts of pork or beef. It depends where you get your food from. And I suspect from reading the posts above, that most people get their food from the supermarket.

With ridiculous foreign objects found in the hot dogs it is a rare occurence and one that can fall upon any one of our foodstuffs that goes through a large scale manufacturing process, including vegan foods (those which are manufactured). The only way would be to grow and prepare all foods yourself, which isn't practical.

I don't eat hot dogs very often, but I do like them, and will continue to eat them a couple of times a year. I know they are made up of shitty parts of the animals, and I don't really care. I would rather eat an animals anus if it tastes good, than inhale a carcinagenic plant. Most of the time I get my meat direct from the farm that raises them, and ensures that their short lives are as happy, and that their food is natural. That way my meat tastes better. I also but the meat pies and sausages and meat products from the farm. They are happy because the supermarkets pay them fuck all, and I am happy because I get better quality produce. I also buy the veg, that I don't grow myself, direct from the farmer, and now have my own chickens who I only feed high quality food to for my eggs.

Out of curiosity, what farms do you purchase food from? I'm curious because you seem to live in the city and it doesn't seem practical. How long is your drive? How much do you pay? What's the name of the farm? Do they have a website?

There are loads of farms near me. I live in London, but Lodnon is very green outside of teh city centre. I am off out now. But Iwill find links when I get back, and have more time. I have a favourite farmers market 10 mins from me called Duck Pond Market in Ruislip. I will find a website for that too. There are farm shops in Windsor, Horton and Uver that I use which are on the way to my parents. I pop in on the way there or on the way back. Links after my guitar lesson.

These are the ones I visit most. But there are loads in and around West London. I suspect it is because it is an upper middle class area with affluent families.

I don't think any of them offer online shopping. I never have used it. They are either 10 mins from my house, or on the way to somewhere I have to go anyway. Like I said though, I try and grow the veg myself, but it's not always practical. To get the Organic stamp, they have to jump through a lot of hoops. At Ruislip Farmers market I have found the veg to be better, and cheaper than the supermarket. The meat is more expensive, but much better.

I love getting my food from the local farms when Im home in the UK. Even just to eat at their cafe (if they have one) is awesome

Nice. Aside from the typical organic food type supermarkets and co-ops, we have a lot of organic food markets here in Seattle where people from the farms bring their vegetables and fruits to sell. But when it comes to buying meat, you can either opt for premium stuff or at the organic food supermarket type shit, but farms themselves are all wayy east of Seattle so it's not practical at all to go buy meat unless you're buying like a whole pig or a whole young goat/buckling to roast for a special event. That's why I was curious since you live in a huge metropolis like London.

Yeah. I live on the most western borough of London though. It is one of the greener areas of London, and yet just one borough across from Wembley. I am still only 15 miles from the city centre, but can be by the beach in just over an hour. While London is a large city, England is very small, and outside our cities, still rather green.

The same can be said for ANY processed food.

By now, tofu – in all its slippery and firm incarnations – has made its way into the mainstream of the American diet. Sort of. The texture is something we may never fantasize about, but it is a nice occasional alternative protein source, especially for vegetarians and people who want to avoid too much meat (given the way meat is produced these days). I say occasional because, remember, it is a highly-processed food. Many types of tofu – especially “mock meats” – are really akin to processed deli meats and sausages. Of course, tofu comes from a bean and doesn’t contain antibiotics, added hormones and animal products, but it’s still – all together now – a processed food. In fact, I really don’t think tofu is much different from a slice of low-fat cheddar. Puts things in perspective, doesn’t it?

http://www.marksdailyapple.com/10-things-to-know-about-tofu/ (great article and blog btw)

Im sure a bunch of things have made it into tofu, chocolate, bread, icecream, etc etc, that wasn't meant to. That is just what happens when food is mass produced.

Grass is alive too. You must only eat dirt. And make sure to sift it first to get out any bugs or bacteria, etc, before you eat it.

 

[Pittsey]

Exactly... There are always going to be scare stories with everything you eat. All you can do is try to eat a healthy balanced diet, keeping it as natural as possible.

I went to a great organic supermarket when I was on Capitol Hill in Seattle. I forget what it was called, but it was near this place - http://sagebakeryandcafe.com/ (which is also awesome)
