"A while back I was in the grocery store looking for a good snack and all I could find was foo-foo energy bars and other partially hydrogenated mystery snacks. I came across energy bars made special for women, some just for kids, and some dried and rolled in seaweed – I mean, what is snack food coming too? I just want something that tastes good, is easy, and filling.
Let’s consider this for a minute shall we? What would happen if I ate one of these female energy bars anyway? Am I going to get all emotional, start crying, or constantly have a craving to watch the Lifetime Network? Come on – give me a break. Give me something meaty, something “real” that I can really enjoy. Whatever happened to good old-fashioned snacks that are satisfying and taste good?
At that moment I remembered a much simpler time, a time before obscene amounts of food processing and crazy snacks with ingredients that I wouldn’t even consider trying to pronounce. I remembered a snack that was easy, filling and even a little bit manly – the original snack. It’s a snack that’s been around for thousands of years – beef jerky. This stuff is great. It’s real meat – how much better can it get?
It’s convenient, tastes great; it travels well, is high in protein and low in fat.
I decided that I needed to get involved and save the world from ‘chichi’ snacks so I ‘got on the horn’ and created my very own line of jerky that’s pretty good for you and tastes even better! I needed to see to it that real snacks.. like beef jerky.. are protected from the onslaught of granola bars and cherry-dipped chocolate ‘whatever-you-call-ems.’
So we got the recipe just right and rolled this stuff out. I keep a bag with me all the time…I eat it all the time. In fact around my house we call it ‘Pocket Steak.’ You got to know that you are eating the right snack, when you put it in your pocket and your dog follows you around. Try it! I think you’ll like it too.
