SO WHAT ARE WE ACTUALLY DOING?

 Grass Fed Beef...

This is a huge opportunity to improve animal welfare! Thanks to the technology of sexed semen, all the beef raised for Moral Eats are Angus crosses from the dairy industry. Dairy animals are bred for milk production and don't normally put on meat easily. However, these calves are half Angus and half Holstein, which makes it possible to raise them to maturity on pasture.

Pastured Turkeys...

Pastured turkeys are part of a rotational grazing system designed to regenerate the pasture and improve the environment. They are raised on grass and are moved regularly along with their mobile shelter. Turkeys will eat up to 40 percent of their diet as grass, but turkeys prefer shorter grass. So, idealy they follow a herd of cattle, much like birds did with the herds of buffalo across North America. In return, the pastures improve because of the high nitrogen levels in the turkey manure, providing more feed for the cattle.

 Pastured Pigs...

 Pigs are very intellegent animals and need a lot of stimulation to keep them occupied. Pigs naturally root and dig and can be quite destructive. Pigs originated from the woodlands of Europe, and when pastured pigs are raised in a woodlot, their destructive habits can keep the forest in a stage of rapid growrh and carbon sequestration. All the pork for Moral Eats are raised on pasture without the use of farrowing crates.

 Calf-At-Foot Dairy...

What was once impossible is beginning to change. Modern improvments in ventilation systems has recently made it possible to allow dairy cows and their calves to remain together until weaning. Known as calf-at-foot dairies, leaving calves with their mothers is a growing trend around the world. But it is only an improvement in animal welfare if the calves stay healthy and that is the reason why they are normally separated. We don't offer dairy products in our store yet, but with your support, it will be coming soon. 

MAKING A DIFFERENCE 

Change starts with the individual, but it grows into a movement when they collect into a community. True power lies in the collective strength of communities united towards a common purpose. At Moral Eats, we firmly believe that transformation starts within each one of us, but its impact magnifies when we join forces. 

Communities provide a platform for ideas to flourish, for knowledge and awareness to spread, and for collaboration to thrive. They amplify the impact of individual actions, nurturing a sense of belonging and empowerment.

• DFD meat: DFD meat occurs when an animal experiences extreme stress prior to slaughter. This stress depletes the animal's glycogen stores, leading to a higher pH level in the muscle post-slaughter. DFD meat tends to be darker, firmer, and drier in texture. It may have a reduced shelf life but can still be safe to consume. The taste of DFD meat is often considered less desirable due to its dryness and lack of tenderness.

• PSE meat: PSE meat is characterized by a pale color, soft texture, and high water content. It occurs due to rapid pH decline in the muscles after slaughter. The quick pH decline is usually caused by stress, such as heat stress or transportation stress. PSE meat tends to be less juicy and have a blander taste compared to normal meat.

•  DFD and PSE can occur on a spectrum, and the severity of these conditions can be influenced by the degree of stress experienced by the animal during its life and before slaughter. The impact on taste can vary depending on the extent of stress. If an animal undergoes mild to moderate stress, the glycogen depletion may not be as significant, resulting in a milder form of DFD or PSE. In such cases, the impact on taste and texture may be less pronounced compared to cases where animals experience high levels of stress.
