Fine for Cowboys. Real ones. They had a desperate need for salt, protein, and calories. Jerkey provided that in a package that was lightweight and well preserved. Great for the need and the time. In today's world, with the typical lifestyle, jerkey is far too salty, full of cancer causing compounds, and isn't fresh produce, which is what we should be snacking. Since you are on the internet, I know you are not a cowboy. Try a carrot or apple.
I've been contemplating killing a cow and making my own beef jerkey. I doubt i'll ever be troubled enough to grow my own produce... MMHmm the power of Beef.
The kind that is uniformed. That is exactly the kind of attitude that has lured far too many people into personal behavior choices that by any known rational thought to be foolish and destructive. That same line was/is used to justify smoking, binge drinking, unprotected sex, and pretty much all kinds of risky, stupid behavior.
Prejudiced. Cowboys can use the Internet. And don't even get me started on the abilities of space cowboys.
lol. Completely different situation but ok. I eat deer jerky from time to time, and ZOMG I'm still here and definitely am fit. Working out and trying to eat apples and carrots just doesn't cut it. I definitely wouldn't be able to gain any "good" weight if thats what I chose to always snack on.
Not to mention Apples are high in sugar, and carrots are high in carbohydrates. Eating them in moderation too, is what is needed
Urbanite! With your greenhorn, domesticated bubble-boy lifestyle, you must be talkin' 'bout that citified factory-made jerky you buy at your fancy la-ti-da shopping mauls! Here in Beautiful Central Oregon we still eat both venison jerky and beef jerky all the time, on the trail or on the range, and we make it ourselves or have it done locally. Jerky is made from the leanest cuts of meat (fat spoils faster). We eat carrots and apples too.
i love to drink, have sex, and then smoke. i try to do it at least once a week, with a random girl if possible. i also love to drive fast, and shoot guns. while driving fast. it is actually really, really fun, you should try it. but beef jerky is the work of the devil, never touch the stuff. it might give me cancer of the balls.
