Does anyone know ANYONE that gets most of their meat ~~cruelty free~~ "humane"? I know a few dudes, enough to count on one hand, that talk up hunting or their free range purchases, but it ends up being 3 meals a month at best. Or just when they go to Burning Man.
"Humane" meat is just window dressing for all but probably a very small few.
I actually know of 1-2 families. They're related though. They both have 1 person that's a very avid hunter/fisher. They literally don't buy any meat and give some away regularly. 1 of the families also has a large, but surprisingly small garden that supplies the vast majority of their vegetable intake. 1 year they even managed to go the entire year without buying any food that wasn't cheese, bread, or condiments. (I believe they traded meat for things like eggs and honey) I understand that hunting/fishing isn't cruelty free, but I'd rather eat an animal that wasn't tortured its entire life. (I say this while enjoying fake steak)
I'm sure it's possible, but only for a very limited number people. Like guys who live in Northern Finland, and have enough material means to obtain the licenses and have the leisure time to do that sort thing. I'm not trying to be combative, but I'd be shocked if those families you're describing are anywhere close to prole.
Actually very prole. It has to do with the area that they live in. Their work also facilitates access to the private land that they use to hunt. It's absolutely not reasonable to expect that of everyone. If everyone in the rural areas that these 2 live in did this, the entire ecosystem would collapse.
I don't want to get pedantic, but this person isn't solely selling their labour to survive. Also like normal people, I work 10+ hour days, 6 days a week. I don't see that happening even if I did live next to a forest.
1 family lives by a lake with good fishing and has an estuary behind their house. They can literally fish from their back yard. They also work in ag, so that's how they know people with land. I also work a lot of hours, and just want to sleep after work. I am lucky to get out for a hike or a paddle let alone foraging for food.
