Subject: Eating meat with blood in it: Gen. 9:4 |
Bible Note: Minjackson If you were raised on a farm then you know chicken is the barnyard buzzard they will and do eat anything. I suspect the difference between Amish and non Amish chicken is not in the killing nor in the handling of the meat after death but rather the conditions the chickens were raised in and what they ate. Amish farms are by far the most clean, and most humane farms you will ever find. Their barns when they needed cleaned look better than most other barns after they have been "cleaned". I have been in Amish dairy barns that look better than most other barns did before they were used. Incidently I love Amish ham would buy one every Christmas, boy what a treat. I lived in Cleveland at the time and there is an Amish settlement east of the city. They brought their meat and produce to the Central Market in down town Cleveland each day. Interestingly most Kosher chicken headed for New York comes from the Amish farms around Harrisburg Pa. They send Rabbis to the farms for a two week stint in which they kill and inspect each chicken. I watched them and the process was fascinating. Especially knowing what constituted a gentile chicken. Again I suspect what you are calling bloody is really body fluid that is red. Blood becomes very very thick within minutes of death and spoils almost instantly. That is one reason why embalmed bodies have the blood removed. Bon a petite EdB |
