A Freezer Full of Meat: Nutritional Hedging Gone Awry
![A Freezer Full of Meat](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh63W79NgM6lgudPFLAsbmexw0CYv2sv_K1Z-S2goVuU6-iLkCSCe07f0c8MKM9X80g8ms1BCa3HHj897dzDOXVhPyldtn7aRKkgBNmixC14xhA0CbBaBzzDAODAkUqW7lLX_Qu2w/s320/freezer-full-of-meat-1.jpg)
I thought I was pretty darn smart. It was nutritional hedging. I was buying quality meat at a very low price now, so that I could enjoy it a year or more later when the cost, at any given moment, would almost certainly be higher.
My plan, however, backfired on me. These days, I rarely eat red meat. I slowly and inexplicably lost my craving for it. I still like chicken, turkey, fish and pork, but the savory love affair I had with red meat, a food item I thought I'd never get tired of, is no more.
So now I find myself trying to limit the waste and financial loss as best I can. I gave some away last summer, to friends and neighbors who like to grill. I also sold some to a close friend who agreed to pay me $0.50 on the dollar for a number of frozen packages (she likes to feed her German Shepherd only the best.) As for the rest, I'm not sure what to do. I may be moving soon, and the meat probably won't survive the relocation.
Anyone need some old but still very pink meat?
