your local plains and the bison basically evolved together, especially before the mammoth extinction... mammoths killed trees actually and made more room for grasses lol

bison meat is pricey, but i looove the liver! i can find mine locally for $5/lb which is a great value because it's so nutritionally dense... not everyone is into organs though, but liver is amazing food

haha, yeah, i hate the food, not the people. in fact my first attempt during my teens was because of a girl hahahaha. my final attempt was during the pandemic. it was the last straw though. never again

i've tried all sorts of approaches, but i always end up sick and disgusted with a vegan diet. and carbs, as much as i love them, mostly make me hungry if i eat them as a staple. otoh i have zero problems digesting animal protein and fats, and they ward off hunger like nothing else. sure i eat my fruits and veggies too but for the vitamins and minerals not for macronutrients

right, they are essential to their ecosystems. moving herds grazing quickly actually stimulate growth in grasslands. it's a beautiful thing, and we have ruined it

yeah, the feedlot seems to be the problem in our world... feeding ruminants corn and soy is far from ideal-- they're grass not grain and bean eaters. we have a weird food system. like you said, removing them from the life cycle...

but the economic pressure is there to do it... and i don't have an answer to that...
