I've never fed pork to my cats. Like you, I like to get free range meat
too,
both for us and for the cats. Also, I've had it drummed into my head
since
childhood that raw pork has triganosis. Not sure if it's very common any
more
or not.

Modern pork is much, much, much cleaner. It's no longer
necessary to cook the daylights out of it, and trichanosis has pretty
much been eradicated. My cats get raw and cooked pork all the time,
with the blessing of their vet.




yes and mine get pinkies too

Personally, I don't feed my pets pork mainly
because it is impossible nowadays to actually get it free-range.. and I
believe that an animal that has never breathed fresh air, never been in the
sun or eaten grass from the ground, has been cooped up in a small space in a
polluted & stressing indoor environment, can only give poor quality meat.

Oh brother. rolling my eyes

Have a steak or chicken from one of those places. Then have some organic
from Whole Foods or something. They taste totally different.

I only eat free-range meat now because after having it, the other stuff
sucks. Especially the beef. What a difference! I don't like pork, so I
can't comment on that kind.
My Mom had some from Whole Foods to try one time when I was over. They
haven't gotten anything else since. Neither have I. Costs more, but very
worth it.

I quite agree, Kaeli. I buy most of my meat from Whole Foods, or another
health food market in the area. I think it is definitely better. Do you have
a Trader Joe's in your area? Some of the meat they carry is free range,
although I'm not sure if all is. I like the frozen lamb from New Zealand that
is pre-marinated. Yummy!

I'm not much of a meat-eater, sticking pretty much to chicken and
certain cuts of beef once to twice a week (and I won't prepare any of it
except ground beef), but my parents love the stuff. We do have a Trader
Joe's - I'll have to tell them about the lamb.
I get the squickies when I touch any raw meat except for ground beef, so
I eat it at my parents' house more than anything else. My culinary
skills make it a miracle for me to make tacos. *heh*

We're not big meat eaters either. I'd say we have it about once or twice a
week. But that lamb is awesome. tell your parents it's in the frozen section
and it's like a rack of lamb, that is marinated with stuff like rosemary
..

LOL, well I wear rubber gloves when I handle the raw meat

Look in the mirror baby, you are what you eat. Do you like the taste of
pig?


I don't think it much matters whether the meat is free-range or not.
