Hunters and Locavores
A letter to the editor in today’s Inquirer complained about a previous article that referred to hunting as a sport. The author wrote that “a sport involves two equally matched teams on a level playing field”. Oh yeah? Clearly she’s never watched a 76ers game. They’re 5 and 14 as of today. I’ll bet the deer have a better survival rate.
The letter actually reminded me of a NY Times article from around Thanksgiving on locavores. Apparently there’s a small but growing movement of these aficionados of locally produced foods who are taking up hunting. It’s particularly interesting in that locavores are a very yuppie-like crowd who most certainly did not grow up in a gun culture. I’d love to see the broader gun culture help to nurture this group and help them expand.
