From the New York Times<\/a>:<\/p>\n

In New York State alone, roughly half a million hunters harvest around 190,000 deer in the fall deer hunting season \u00e2\u20ac\u201d that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s close to eight million pounds of venison. In the traditional vernacular, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d call that \u00e2\u20ac\u0153game meat.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d But, in keeping with the times, it might be better to relabel it as free-range, grass-fed, organic, locally produced, locally harvested, sustainable, native, low-stress, low-impact, humanely slaughtered meat.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While hunting is portrayed as an archaic ritual, for beer drinking unshaven yahoos; maybe it will be the new green thing to do.<\/p>\n

As a remedy, so-called locavores encourage a diet coming from one\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s own \u00e2\u20ac\u0153foodshed\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u201d usually within 100 or 300 miles of home. The rationale of localism is promoted in popular books and Web sites: it leads to a healthier lifestyle and diet; brings money to rural communities; promotes eating meat from animals that are able to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153carry out their natural behaviors\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153eat a natural diet\u00e2\u20ac\u009d; allows consumers to visit the places where their food is raised; supports the production of foods that have fewer chemical fertilizers and pesticides; and it keeps us in touch with the seasons.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While those sound suspiciously similar to the reasons many Americans choose to hunt, the literature of localism neglects the management and harvest of wildlife. This is a shame, because hunters are the original locavores.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Will hunting become the new fad for those who want to eat ‘local’? Nah, Don’t think so. But, but… it’s organic, free range meat.<\/p>\n
