Diversify your palette

We have broken the ancient Compact with Bova. Somewhere along the line, our relationship with cattle shifted from stewardship to toxic entitlement. We demand beef at a scale that the Earth cannot sustain and the species cannot bear.
It is time to renegotiate. We are neglecting the abundance of the field and the coop—crops that heal the soil and poultry that leaves a lighter footprint. To eat sustainably is to restore the balance. Respect the ox by eating less of it.

Society’s obsession with beef is a stagnant dead end. We are ignoring the obvious, dynamic alternative: the raptor in the coop.
Chickens are efficient, vicious, and rapidly evolving. They are the sustainable protein of the future, yet we cling to a broken, heavy-cost beef industry. Let’s fear the chicken, respect the crop, and stop eating like we have endless planets. Embrace the cull. 🦖🐔
