Title: raw meat: getting started
Post by: personman on May 10, 2011, 03:50:25 am
Hi all, I am keen on making a transition to raw meat in my diet. I have been consuming raw eggs for a time and it has been going fine enough for me to want to brave the next step.
My questions center around 'raw meat': (1) how long can it be kept out of the fridge/freezer? How can it be kept cool(at temperatures that preserve it) without having a fridge? Any cautionary advice/caveats to keep in mind? I hope you all can help.

Long-term rawists are happy to leave out the raw meat forever, really, as long as maggots don't touch the meat. It's all a matter of how used you are to raw meats, that's all.

That saves me a lot of time/effort. ANd here I was paranoid over the idea that bacteria would swarm over a piece of meat left out of the fridge/freezer. Would you know any ways to keep the bugs away if you were in my shoes: living in a seacan on farmland with weather that ranges between -5 and +24 degrees celcius? Hope you can help.

No idea. Cold weather forces the flies away, but I have only found 2 black bin bags and a plastic box containing the  raw meat as useful against flies' egg-laying.
