Deer have roamed planet Earth for over three million years, and humans have been consuming the meat of these animals since the beginning of human existence. When humans were hunters and gatherers, wild animals were on the menu. Society has changed dramatically over the centuries, so much so that many people view hunting and eating wild animals such as deer as a bad thing to do. Venison is a high-quality meat that few people have tried or would think of incorporating into their daily diet. There are many facts and benefits that society can appreciate regarding the daily consumption of deer as a protein in people's diets. Venison, the nutrient-rich deer meat, is an excellent substitute for beef. According to fitness trainer Kevin Rail, venison is an extremely healthy substitute for beef. In his article, Nutritional Values ​​of Venison vs. Beef, Rail states, “from a nutritional standpoint, these meats are similar” (Rail). Venison is considered a complete protein because, like beef, all ten essential amino acids are present (Rail). These amino acids are necessary for managing the body's metabolic functions. Deer are wild animals and are not fed high rations like beef cattle are. Venison is a much leaner meat because it does not contain the internal fat, usually called marbling, that beef is commonly known for. For some consumers of meat products, however, marbling is essential, because of the flavor and moisture it contains. the fat gives to the meat. This is not to say that game is neither tasty nor tender, just a little less than that of beef. Beef contains more than three times the cholesterol of venison, giving people with heart disease the option of eating low-cholesterol meat (Rail). Same bet... middle of paper ... strange because it is wild, or because it is a cruel use of wild animals. Venison is an excellent substitute for other meats and should be more readily available to the public. Deer Farming (Venison) - Agricultural Marketing Resource Center. Np, and Web.
