The next installment of Assignment #5 - data analysis!
So, can you save energy by "harvesting" your own food locally (shooting a Dall sheep) as opposed to relying on grain-fed beef?
I would have a better answer had we actually been able to get one. Unfortunately, there were no sheep to be seen on our hunting days.
Pitfall #1 of relying on nature's local bounty: unpredictability!
Not to fear. Using statistics from Alaska Fish and Game, I figured out how many pounds a typical sheep carcass weighs, and used this to calculate energy rates.
The verdict on saved energy? View my Eat Locally Power Point to find out. Data can be accessed at google docs.
Happy eating!
