low stress food

13 November 2007

I wrote yesterday that pre-slaughter stress in livestock impacts meat quality. Today, I received my Stockman Grassfarmer (why yes, I am a farm geek) and learned of a new book proposing that when we eat meat from stressed animals, we experience “second-hand stress.”

As antidote, the author of Low Stress Food suggests that in restaurants, we ask how our meat is raised. Which may only seem funny if you’ve read this.
