Is Minnesota Making It Legal To Eat Beaver?
Is Minnesota making it legal to eat beaver? That’s the goal of Senator Grant Hauschild it sounds like!
Last year, the state of Minnesota passed a law making it illegal to eat nuisance beaver. However, now, Senator Grant Hauschild wants to make it legal to eat beaver again. He recently proposed a bill that would remove a line from a state statue that bars human consumption of a retained beaver, per FOX 9. I’ve never heard of anyone eating or being interested in eating beaver before. Those who have tried it, however, say it tastes a lot like beef. I was expecting chicken.
Minnesota Lawmaker Proposes Bill To Make It Legal To Eat Beaver
Beavers can be a problem when populations become too high. They can cut down trees and cause floods with their dams. One single beaver can reportedly cut down hundreds of trees every year. According to FOX 9, the DNR website explains, “Minnesota has a regulated beaver trapping season, but there are not enough trappers to keep some beaver populations small enough to prevent problems. Beavers are valuable, especially when considering their economic importance for fur. Minnesota trappers take 20,000 to 30,000 surplus beaver most years.”
While one senator is proposing making it legal to eat beaver again, others aren’t so sure about it. According to FOX 9, Senator Foung Hawj indicated that there are concerns about the potential for disease or parasite contraction from eating a rodent.
I have never thought about eating a beaver before. Never knew it was even an option. Those who have tried it compare it to gamey beef and say it’s “not terrible.” Would you be willing to give it a try?
5 Fictional Foods From Movies And TV That Look Delicious
Krabby Patty from "Spongebob"
When I think about animated food that looks delicious the Krabby Patty is one of the first things to come to mind. It’s simple but there’s something about it. I see one and I turn into Plankton with my desire to obtain a delicious Krabby Patty. I’m surprised they haven’t opened Krusty Krab locations in real life. You could have the Krabby Patty, the Krusty Krab Pizza, there are so many possibilities! Let’s get it going!
Pizza from "A Goofy Movie"
If you remember this movie, you remember that pizza. It was so cheesy it looked so good! The way it melted and pulls from the base–it’s truly mouthwatering. Few examples look better than that pizza. There’s something about that movie where even the Cheese Whiz looks good. Or is there just something about the timing of when I watch that movie? It always looks so good.
Ratatouille from "Ratatouille"
Sure, it’s animated. However, nearly every dish featured in the movie looks tasty. The animation department really did their job. It’s set in Paris so there’s already pressure for the food to look like the best in the world–and they delivered. Even though most of the food featured in the movie looks good, none look better than the Ratatouille. Mmm.
Ed's Special Sauce from "Good Burger"
What is in the sauce? What’s the secret? I always assumed it was just like Mac Sauce from McDonald’s. Maybe it’s more like Animal Sauce from In N Out? We know it has ketchup and lemon juice and tastes like lemonade and BBQ sauce because Ed says so in the movie, per Mama Plus One. However, we don’t know much more than that! I suppose that description would mean it is not like Mac Sauce so now I’m at a loss. It looked dangerously good in the movie from the reactions it got and I want some!
Scooby Snacks from "Scooby Doo"
Are Scooby Snacks actually dog food? Does it matter? You can’t say part of you didn’t want to try them to see what all the fuss was about. Don’t act like you never tried dog biscuits just to see what they tasted like. They look really good in the shows and movies based on the reaction. Are they “special” treats? They could be! Okay, if you don’t want to try the Scooby Snacks then you can’t deny you want one of those mega sandwiches Shaggy and Scoob are always eating.
