scary!  when the big food industry want to please the paleo move . It is
called recuperation of good ideas for lucrative pursuit.we had "no fat"
crave . soon we are going to get the wild genetic label.

that show how unealthy , is the gain of weight,  accomplished Only after 120
days.

 4 months of unatural life must bring its toil ( the other  meaning given by
the dictionnary is " a trap for wild beast ",interesting!)  on a 2 year
animal ,how long are they nursed ? do the mother get supplemented with grain
? vaccination?

  At this

pelleted foods , by-product of human''food' industry ( oil , soya ,sugar
,milling industry etc...)  most likely steamed to bind everything together.

what is better mostly is that we benefit from the genetic of those animals
that makes them able to handle the abuse better, but few generations of that
regimen , they are going to degenerate to the level of the domestic animal
addicted to crap. then we will have something to cry about when we will have
exhausted the potential  of naturally designed genetic make up.

when we feel powerless about asking what we really want , i suppose...
  when we are ready to content ourselves with the "unavoidable " we are just
complice of mediocrity.

Wild species are great but when fed their original wild diet . That is
totally possible but  is requiring comitment from the farmer and in
definitive the consumer. It cost !

Don't let yoursef support the degeneration of wild species.
