What the world needs now is …………. sustainability!
My business partner and friend, Hans Looman, and I have come to a point in our lives where we want more than a job to pay the bills and be part of the status quo. We want to have significance in our lives. This idea didn’t really come as part of a well thought out plan or goal to begin with but rather a series of events. It’s funny how life goes sometimes…………
I have always been horrified by the fact that we butcher harmless animals for food. As a matter of fact, before I could logically think about that I was chasing the chickens out of the coop at my great uncles farm. I was only 2! Later, on the same farm I fed the calves, in the yard next to the house, their pail of milk every morning for a week and grieved for them when one morning the yard was empty and my astonishment was answered with the agonizing fact that they had gone to the slaughter house. I never really liked meat although I ate it almost everyday of my life until I was 39 years old. I was conditioned to do so and didn’t know how to cook without it. Every meal centered around the meat. Chicken with fried potatoes and beans,
roast beef with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables, pork chops with potatoes, carrots and applesauce…………..does it sound familiar?
