THE CONSCIOUS CARNIVORE
KITCHEN DIVA PHOTO
Along with many game meats, bison is becoming available at many local grocery stores. Bison is nutrient dense, has less fat and calories and more iron than chicken or salmon. Commercially
farmed bison spend their lives on the range, with grazing patterns that have little effect on the land, as well.
