Warren Buffett And The Pork Chop Show

I had a dream last night that I was flying around a dinner party (literally flying), holding a raw pork chop in each hand, singing a big band song about the merits of lean meat.  It was Warren Buffett's dinner party, but it was suddenly in a theater and he was in a front row mezzanine seat, the sort where Kennedy Center Honor recipients sit (but no groovy rainbow ribbon for the Oracle of Omaha).

The tune of the song was "American Bandstand" but instead of the words American Bandstand, the words were You Gotta Eat Lean Meat.  Occasionally I would clap the raw pork chops together in beat to the music. Yes, really.  It was quite a show. And Warren Buffett liked it.

So here's how I try to tie something quirky from my life into some sort of eco lesson.  Because the blog is called EcoMeg, not RandomThoughtsMeg.

I've been reading a lot lately about the merits of grass fed beef - I assume this was where the lean meat part of the dream came from (I've no idea how Warren Buffett got in there).  So I'll share with you a link to the very informative website Eat Wild by Jo Robinson, New York Times best selling author of the book Why Grassfed Is Best!.  There are many health benefits from eating grass fed rather than grain fed.  For instance, beyond being lower in fat and calories, meat from grass fed animals has far more omega-3 fatty acids than meat from grain fed animals (omega-3s are called "good fats" that benefit our heart and brain).  

Check out her website and her book, too.  
And don't eat pizza before bed unless you want to dream of flying with pork chops.
