Eating rabbit,
We like rabbit, and it is more "digestible" than other meat [except fish- "according to our government"]
DIGESTIBLE NUTRIMENT.
The United States Department of Agriculture makes the following report on the digestible nutriment of various meats.
Fish 89 percent,
Domestic Rabbit 83 percent,.
Chicken 50, Beef 55, Mutton 65, Pork 75,
Rabbit has the lowest cholesterol value of any meat product. Compared to the next two lowest, chicken and pork (both with a value of 230 mg per serving), rabbit has a mere 164 mg of cholesterol.
Rabbit is the lowest calorie meat per serving at 795 calories per pound vs 810 for chicken, 840 for veal, 1190 for turkey, and 1440 for beef. Pork 2050 calories per pound!
Rabbit meat is the HIGHEST in protein compared to chicken, fish, lamb, pork and even beef!
Rabbit meat is highly digestible and recommended by the USDA for children and the elderly.
The USDA also proclaims rabbit meat “the most nutritious meat known to man.”
-- and, our rabbits can be raised eating foods that humans cannot eat.
I think it is a shame that the "animal rights" folks have caused such a stink,[under the guise of "morality"] that people have about stopped eating rabbit, in favor of meat sources that directly compete with humans for food by eating primarily grain. Thus raising the worldwide price of grain,so poor countries can no longer afford it- thereby greatly increasing "world hunger".
I have heard from people in Europe, that rabbit is largely "no longer available" in most meat shops, and "the country folks" raise their own.. In the US - it is becoming harder to find also..
