"It's the animals that heal me, both in their lives and in their deaths. They walk alongside and connect me to the earth by their example of presence and authenticity. A cow, given grass, her herd, life under the sky, sees no need to ponder the possibilities of tomorrow's horrors. A bald eagle soaring above knows only the thermal waves under its feathers. Fully inhabited in self. It is not lost on me, then, that those very lives of the animals in our world, are what my body asks for to heal itself in their deaths. Animal foods, the traditional, highly valued, deeply nutritious foods prized by our ancestors since the dawn of time, are what bring me satiation. When I eat these foods, the cultured raw cheeses, the drippy braised beef roasts, the venison steaks seared in goose fat, the tallow and the lard and the goose eggs and the liver, my body reports back with a hearty affirmation, impossible to ignore. 'Wonderful! Bravo! Do it again!"
