4 Traditional Meat
How did our family traditions become centered around eating meat? Think
about it. When we think of Thanksgiving, we think of turkey. If we eat
pork, then New Year's celebrations
often revolve around pork and sauerkraut. At Christian Easter, the
traditional meal is ham. And in the summer, we wait for that first
hamburger or steak on the grill.
How did that happen to a species that was designed to eat vegetables and fruits, nuts, berries and legumes?
We
can imagine that eating meat was initially an opportunistic event, born
of the need to survive. The taste of cooked meat, plus the sustained
energy that came from eating high-fat meat products made primitive sense
even to earliest man. Philippines festivals
Initially, finding cooked animal meat,
from a forest fire, would have been cause for celebration. It's
something everyone in a clan would have participated in eating together.
When man learned to hunt and moved to a hunting orientation, rather
than a hunter-gatherer orientation, he would have done this in groups.
They would have had to hunt in teams, and killing an animal for food
would have been a group effort. Hunting and killing an animal meant food
not just for the individual, but for the clan, and would have been
cause for celebration when the hunters brought the food home. festivals in the Philippines
If
they brought the animal back to the clan, it would have taken a group
effort to skin the animal and tear or cut the meat from the carcass.
Everyone would have participated in this, and subsequently, shared in
the rewards of their work.
It's easy to see how, once we didn't
have to hunt for meat, but could buy it, the need for gathering and
celebration was deeply ingrained in our natures. We celebrate the
seasons and life's events with family and friends, and because those
early celebrations involved eating meat, that tradition has continued to modern times.
