As I'm sure some of you have noticed we've taken a brief hiatus. We've been busy bees in the background planning for the big game you all know it: THE HOLIDAYS. Is your family coming for dinner and you're stuck between finding time to start holiday shopping, wrap the presents; AND plan a full menu? We get it, we've been there. 

Most of us have heard the term “think globally, act locally”, but probably have not really given that a whole lot of thought. Today, we are going to talk about a wave that is not coming… because it is already here! While many people might not necessarily think global, acting local is evident with some of the new movements we are seeing, such as CSA Farming!

Concluding the history of meat eating and the importance of the butcher throughout human history we come to a unique and historic era… the modern age! Is the modern butcher as important to society as in ages past? Read on… the answer might surprise you!

Last time we were here we talked about the history of meat and the way it works as a part of humanity and as a portion of the human condition. Having touched on that, we are now going to go further by quite a span of time. Doing this we are moving forward to go beyond just hunting and eating, and we are going to get into the topic of butchering meat as a profession and a necessity.
