Wild game – General
Wild game is a term given to mammals and birds that are hunted for food while they are in their wild state. Wild game is usually seasonal food. Many people find game to have a strong flavor compared to domestic animal foods, while others disagree. Wild game is superior to farmed animals both nutritionally (more balanced between protein and fat) and energetically. The essence of wild game is that it includes a variety of undomesticated animals which have not been genetically tampered by humans.
“Meat of animals which have just been killed, is like nectar, gives long life, and bestows stoutness to the body. Other kinds should be avoided.” (BP.1.6)
