Words like 'pastured,' 'grass-fed,' and 'free-range' are now synonymous with quality meat; they carry a potent if symbolic meaning that has eased many a consumer’s conscience and driven many a marketing campaign." Interestingly, the campaigns of happy meaters are acknowledged for perhaps being somewhat of a scam with the next sentence.

Moreover at present I see no moral objection to eating the flesh of free range cattle, which seem to me to have a happy life which they would not have at all if they were not destined to be eaten. Perhaps in order to qualify for a moral elite one should become a heroic vegetarian like Peter Singer. I am myself not so heroic.

When I started blogging, I thought that if more people sought out free-range, grass-fed "beef," more animals would be saved/fewer would be created. Lesson #15 It's okay to change your mind.

Especially when I compare it with the other cowbird present in central Mexico, the Brown-headed Cowbird. The Brown-headed “Bison-birds” learned to be Cowbirds, and expanded their range coast-to-coast, and into almost all of Mexico. A rare photo (for me) of a glossy male and its more drab partner. Starling -numerous.
