Jerky is made from lean cuts of beef that are cooked at low heat for a long time, so very little fat makes it into the end product. On the other hand, meat sticks, encased like sausage, have 8 to 13 grams of fat, including 3 to 5 grams of saturated fat. The sticks also have about twice the calories of the jerkies.

The blues has deep roots in American history, particularly African-American history. The blues originated on Southern plantations in the 19th Century. Its inventors were slaves, ex-slaves and the descendants of slavesâAfrican-American sharecroppers who sang as they toiled in the cotton and vegetable fields.
