Pick your favorite cut of meat or fish (or if youre a vegetarian, pick the favorite of a friend or loved one). Tell your classmates what part of the animal this cut of meat comes from.

Then, answer two of the following questions:

1. Is the muscle that this cut of meat/fish comes from heavily used by the animal or is it typically used in short bursts?
2. Is this meat/fish high in fat?
3. Is this meat/fish tough or tender?
4. Is this meat/fish typically slaughtered when the animal is old or young?
Expand on your answers by relating them to where the meat comes from on the animal and by relating your answers to each other (if applicable). Include any citations/references for where you got your information. Feel free to enhance your post with pictures!
