Ostrim Ostrich Meat Snacks
The Miller Lite of Jerky
by Dave McAwesomeIf you're as much of a jerky lover as I am, you face the always challenging dilemma: How do I get that great jerky taste without the fat? I need a jerky that tastes great AND is less filling. Yes, I was looking for the Miller Lite of the jerky and beef by-product industries. I'm happy to report Ostrim's Ostrich Meat Snacks fit the bill.
Plus, I despise Ostriches and derive great satisfaction that each bite is a victory over their ornithological empire. Cull their winged herd, I say. They are nasty, mean-spirited creatures whose sole purpose is to fill my belly in-between brunch and lunch.
Ahem. Back on topic: Let's face facts. We can't eat bacon three times a day. Two is the maximum, so for a salty, meat-based replacement it isn't uncommon to reach for a bag of beef jerky. Ostrim's revolutionary product gives you 13g of muscle-building protein and only 1.5g of gross girl-deterring fat per serving. Yep. 13g protein, 1.5g fat, 80 calories.
That well outperforms other bird-derived by-products. Consider this: "USDA guidelines for meats such as Ostrich when used for non-refrigerated meat sticks require the use of at least 3% traditional meats. OSTRIM satisfies this requirement and is approved as a dry-shelf meat stick bearing the USDA seal." (from Ostrim's own Web site).
Well sir, if you can name me one other--just ONE--non-refrigerated meat stick that uses at least 3 percent traditional meats AND provides 13g of protein, then I sure would like to hear about it. Until then, my quasi-meat grocery money is going to Ostrim.
I have also sampled other flavors of Ostrich Meat Snacks. Sometimes I like my ostrich a little spicy. Be warned, ostrich connoisseur, the pepper flavor is more bland than the original. They also offer teriyaki, as is required by the American Jerky Manufacturers Association's membership guidelines.
Open wide, birdman.
