\ntook an unlikely path through vegetarianism and even “militant”
\nveganism before embracing his new profession whole hog—literally. He now styles himself The Ethical Butcher<\/a>.
\nHe gets all of his meat from small, local farms and visits every one
\nto meet the farmers and see first-hand how their animals are raised.
\nHe’s converting people to the cause of sustainable meat through what
\nhe calls The Bacon Gospel<\/a>,
\ncuring bacon with flavors like watermelon-basil and
\nhorseradish-lemon-turmeric, as well as through the Heritage Breed
\nSupper Club, where people not only eat well but learn the story behind
\nwhat they’re eating. Reed is also writing a book, developing a video
\nseries on sustainable meat, and planning a tour of cities along the
\nEast and West coasts to share his philosophy and highlight the work of
\nothers fighting to change the meat industry. <\/p>\n
