Why don’t we eat all parts of the animal when we consume meat?
I know many Americans have major hang-ups about eating organ meats. I wonder if hot dogs would be a staple food if everyone knew what was in them. While minoring in anthropology in college, I grew a tremendous amount of admiration for indigenous cultures. When they hunt, many appreciate their kill. Then they eat every single part of the animal. I wish we did that in the modern world. That way, we wouldn’t be overconsuming. It’s beyond me how much Americans waste everything in such a reprehensible manner. I would love it if we grinded all the meat into a meat grinder and made sausages out of them. Further, I wish we would cut all the steaks and everything down to bite sizes so they could be eaten with chopsticks. What else will they do with the organs? Think about it!
Not only do indigenous cultures eat everything they could, they use the sinews as cords and thread, the hide as leather for shoes or clothing, the bones and horn for ornament/ tools.
But that was because they honoured the animals they killed and recognised the debt they owed them and saw how they and their prey were dependent on each other.
Our culture has lost this, both in terms of respect and, because meat is cheap and easy to obtain, we think nothing of wasting it. We have separated ourselves from the messiness of life; the hunt and kill. The butchering and dividing. Instead meat for most kids (and many adults) is pleasant, fat free, neat little pieces that bears no resemblance to the cow, lamb or pig it came from.
We have grown squeamish and as a result, lost our connection to the cycle of life. IMO.
