As a locavore, it was my feeling that we could not have a well-rounded diet here in Maine that did not include meat. There are ways to get vegetable protiens, but the most common (and most available in our grocery store culture) are rice and soy. Rice doesn't grow in Maine, and while we eat some rice, it is not a staple in our diet. Meat is.<br /><br />Since we knew we weren't giving it up, we decided instead to source ONLY local meat, which morphed into raising our own broilers for the past three years. <br /><br />I completely respect one's right to choose what one will eat, but knowing (and believing) what I do about energy depletion and the potential for food scarcity, I have some real concerns when it comes to being dependent on a fragile on-demand food delivery system, and I really do feel that our only security is in supporting and growing our local foods economy.<br /><br />In short, I really applaud and appreciate all that you do to help make our food system here in S.
