“食品伦理???——哼,岂有此理!”要是让Wilburess小姐知道了,她会很生气地说。这个理,还是听听Camas Davis怎讲吧。
The Portland Meat Collective — a group of butchers and chefs that offers classes on meat production, butchery, cooking and, yes, slaughter — was founded by Davis, a self-described “meat thinker.” She challenges her students and the larger community to engage with all aspects of meat production, whether that means visiting animals at farms or learning the skills to put them on their plates. The collective gave its first butchery course in 2010 and now holds classes in commercial kitchens, charging $100 to $300 per class. In the last three years, it has educated more than 1,000 students. The collective plans to introduce a Kickstarter campaign to expand the model nationwide. They’re considering Seattle and Hood River, Ore., as test markets.
波特兰肉联厂由一群屠宰手和厨师组成;由Davis创立,她自称“肉之禅师”,提供肉类生产,屠宰,烹饪课程;当然还有宰杀。Davis常要求她的学生回答:社区那么多人参与肉类生产所有环节,是否意味着到农场看看牲畜,或学会怎样把肉弄上他们的盘子。2010年,肉联厂首次开设屠宰课程;现在到专业厨房里开课办班,收费100到300美元。过去3年里,超过1000人受教。肉联厂打算引入创业鼓励机制,规模扩至全国。他们正在考虑西雅图和俄勒冈的胡德河区为市场试点。
As a result of being a nose-to-tail carnivore, Davis has been called everything from a killer to an anti-feminist by animal activists, who might be surprised to learn she once was a vegetarian herself. (When I asked her why she began eating meat again, she replied, “I was hungry.”) The organization that leased Davis a commercial kitchen for Winterim asked that we not mention its name, and when Davis initially visited the space, someone asked how she was going to contain the pig’s blood. “What blood?” she said, and the reply revealed that the owners thought she was going to walk a live pig through the front door and kill it in front of nine teenagers. This ignorance, Davis says, is telling of our relationship to the animals that we eat — most of us don’t know the difference between butchery and slaughter.
作为彻头彻尾的肉食者,后果是爱动物人士对Davis的蔑称,从动物杀手到反常女人等五花八门。可他们或会惊讶,当知道她本人曾经是个素食者。(当我问她为什么又开始吃肉时,她回答“我饿坏了。”)那个出租专业厨房给Davis作闲冬课程的机构,要求不要透露机构的名字。当Davis甫来察看场地时,有人问她怎样盛装猪血。“什么血?”她问。物业主人回答中表示,以为她从前门赶生猪进来,然后在9个孩子眼前,当面开刀。
这种无知,Davis说,说明我们与我们所吃动物的关系——我们的大多数人,不知道屠跟宰之间的区别。 |
