Over the last 50 years, meat production has tripled, creating 5.4 million jobs worldwide. Humans have hunted, farmed, and scavenged animals for meat since the dawn of mankind.

Smoking Meats
Today marks the start of meat week, and we’ll be looking at one of the most popular preservation methods for it, smoking. The art of smoked meats dates back to the cave dweller times when they accidentally discovered the method when they hung slabs of raw meat next to smokey fires all night. Today, it is hugely popular in the US with clubs, associations, and contests. Professional meat smokers often refer to themselves as Pit Masters. According to them, “All BBQ is smoked, but not a smoked meat is BBQ.” If interested in becoming a Pit Master yourself, here are a few pointers you’ll need to know to buy your first smoker.

Beyond Champagne Toasts: Reimagining New Year's Eve for a Mindful and Sustainable Future
As the clock strikes midnight on December 31st, a collective exhale washes over the world. We breathe out the old year, its triumphs and tribulations, and inhale the possibilities of the new. New Year's Eve parties, vibrant tapestries of celebration woven with anticipation and reflection, have long served as cultural crucibles for this annual metamorphosis. New Year's Eve for a mindful: New Year's Eve for the mindful is a night to shed the usual trappings of loud parties and fleeting resolutions. Instead, it's an opportunity to turn inward, reflect on the year gone by with gratitude and acceptance, and set gentle intentions for the year ahead. Imagine cozying up in a warm space, bathed in the gentle glow of candlelight. Instead of champagne toasts, there's a steaming cup of tea, its aroma filling the air with a sense of calm. A crackling fire casts dancing shadows on the walls, creating a space for quiet contemplation. This is a night for mindful journaling, for setting intentions that whisper rather than shout, for cherishing the quiet moments of solitude and self-reflection. It's a night to connect with the stillness within, to find peace amidst the anticipation of a new year, and to step into the future with a heart full of quiet hope and gentle resolve. From Gregorian Revelry to Modern Metamorphosis: The origins of New Year's Eve festivities can be traced back to ancient Babylon, where the Akitu festival marked the celestial renewal associated with the spring equinox. This tradition evolved and migrated through the centuries, eventually landing on December 31st with the adoption of the Gregorian calendar in 1582. Over time, the celebratory focus shifted from celestial cycles to personal resolutions and societal introspection. The Festive Facets of Human Connection: At their core, New Year's Eve parties are more than just mere revelry. They are microcosms of human connection, fueled by a potent cocktail of shared anticipation, collective release, and the forging of new memories. Research published in the journal "Nature Neuroscience" suggests that social interaction triggers the release of oxytocin, the "love hormone," fostering feelings of trust and bonding. This potent neurochemical cocktail creates an ideal environment for strengthening existing relationships and forging new ones. Beyond the Buzz: Rethinking the Celebration However, the traditional New Year's Eve bash, often characterized by excessive alcohol consumption and unsustainable waste generation, can leave a bittersweet aftertaste. As we move towards a more mindful and conscious era, it's time to rethink the way we celebrate this pivotal night. Sustainable Soirees: A Toast to the Planet The environmental impact of traditional New Year's Eve celebrations is undeniable. Mountains of single-use decorations, excessive food waste, and energy-guzzling extravaganzas paint a picture of unsustainable revelry. Fortunately, a growing trend towards eco-conscious partying offers a glimmer of hope. Opting for reusable decorations, sourcing local and organic food, and choosing energy-efficient venues can transform our celebrations into beacons of environmental responsibility. Mindful Merriment: A Toast to Wellbeing The pressure to conform to the "party hard" New Year's Eve narrative can take a toll on mental and physical wellbeing. Prioritizing sleep, setting realistic expectations, and engaging in activities that bring genuine joy, such as board games or meaningful conversations, can help us ring in the new year feeling refreshed and revitalized.
