locally produced geese on the soup kitchen menu
The article I found this week discusses the tradition of raising ducks and geese for local market in Europe and Asia. It talks about how hard it is to find a fresh one in most u.s. grocery stores or at the butchers. Chicken is everywhere, and goose is hard to come by. Wild goose is a delicate treat, if prepared properly, and has a low fat content. The article goes on to talk about a communitity of detroit suggesting a mass euthanization will reduce thousands of "nuisance geese" infesting 10 kilometers of the towns shoreline, donating bird carcasses to detroit soup kithchens struck the group as a great idea. These geese could carry unsafe contamination levels though. Something to think about!!! More info at http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/03/locally_produce_2.php

Very interesting. I think that the thought of utilizing these geese is a rather good idea, however I would like to know how they plan on weeding the "bad eggs" out. It makes you a little bit nervous to think that these geese could be carrying some sort of health threatening virus along to humans.
