i notice that a lot of the time there are 10X as many guests online as users. I am guessing this is due to multiple reasons but wondering why it is this way? does this ratio represent mainstreams society on raw paleo...questioning/researching it but too afraid to 'sign in' to such a lifestyle (or forum  )
but i speculate its cause:
-ppl are afraid of and/or inexperienced of forums in general
-on the outside looking in...seeing if grass really is greener on other side
-evaluating to see we are not actually crazy, then user population will boom
-don't wanna post cause they don't know much and don't wanna sound dumb. purely infotainment

....thoughts/opinions plz, always fun, informing, and stimulating

after reading Yuli's post (below) i remember my dad emailing me telling me and my siblings to learn mandrine. there are over 1billion people speaking mandrine today and growing. this is the language of the future. thoughts/opinions?

(Yuli's post)
This is why English can be so confusing, with all the regional definitions, nothing I can avoid of course.
lol, last time my cat had an eye irritation and I wanted to wash it out with some black tea, so I told my dad to go buy black tea, he was like "huh", I told just simple TEA...he's like ok....he comes back with a spiced Chai (lol because in his language simple black tea is called Chai), this sort of confusions are happening all the time ><

I asked the butcher at my grocery store if i could get some fat, as he has tones and a company picks it up. he said i could havea  bunch regurlarly free. These cattle are grainfed, no antibiodics, not fed other cows, but maybe growth hormones, not ever outside and all the other bad things pottentially.

What are your guys experiences with a type of fat like this from a poorly treated animal? i have not tryed the fat yet, but i am kind of skeptical. Does fat store toxins/high omega 6, or is it only goodness stored in fat?? (excuse my noobness plz  )

i know this is completly unrelated, but they are close to the top and i htought people might like to watch it as i do

all us members know the topics, and we (me i guess lol) usually scroll to bottom to get the latest tid bit of info, or go to replies. So y not put the goods where i dont have to scroll?

non-members would have the homepage the way it is now... thouhgts/opinoins?

i see my dog do the same stretch and i only really stretch my core/back in morning and sometimes and its quick. i know muscles are stronger when not stretched, but my question comes to after work out routine. i hear all over stretching after is more important, but i figure the Cavemen would not stretch after intesne exercise, should i?

what are the pros/cons of stretching after working out

I have been chiro for most my life, and i legit find it helps and has saved my lil bro, by allowing him to get off really strong anti-bio when he was a tot and they fucked his teeth. But since i started raw paleo and doing more weight training i dont feel its necesarry. I can tell how out of whack my spine is before i go in and while getting adjusted (which is a LOT after tennis, especially if i serve a lot). But now that i am putting more symetry into my body using my left hand for everything including sports, and playing on monkey bars/trees (lifting) i notice they barely do anything when i go in.

Has anyone else noticed such effect, and does dairy have a lot to do with moddern peeps needing chiro?

So sat night i was kinda pissed cause things are not quite going the way i want in life, and my dad was irritating me amongst other things. Anyway's, i have not had a full blown food "relapse" yet (2.5 months rpd no cheating at all) and my dad is always like "one day a week u should slide and get mcdees/junk food ect" to keep mental sanity, as he relies on this stuff hourly to run off a constant sugar buzz. So basically i was sad and did not give a f#*k last night, and thought mid as well document this "experiment" for u guys if im gonna poison myself  ...

So i had roughly 15-20 mini choclate bars quickly of :reese pbc, o henry, mr.big, wonderbar . The effects that occurred were:
Immediate: -Bloated( felt i could not move and could not eat anymore), I also tried to throw it up but somehow this garbage tricked my body into believing it is real food and couldnt get it up.
-Tired (i slept from like 11-9) with crazy crazy dreams because of the peanuts.
-Addictive. This is the CRAZIEST thing is how much i wanted more and how addictive it is. Even though i could not stomach more, i still wanted it soooooo bad, the shit is like crack cocaine (as i even contemplated briefly having more the following day lol).
-I was reallllllly thirsty while eating. I drank a lot of water while eating and after, as i was parched and figured i dont want this stuff to digest really either.

9am the next morning: -sinuses all clogged with really yellow mucus/specs of blood.
-a feeling of disorientation/unawareness/disconnect of mind/body
-MOUTH TASTES LIKE SHITTTTT. This is happened to me everyday before rpd, so it was a comical remind of my old state.
-mentally foggy/mild mild headache. I feel like i just downgraded from my new macbook pro to my old POS Dell virus box.
-Strong urge for more sugar. There are a bunch of bananas my dad got in the kitchen and i want soooo bad.
-my ears were ringing. This is probly more to do with the sinuses being messed up.
-my eyes looked dead. Peoplel notice my eyes are very wide/clear these days, but this morning they looked BAD.
-burping a lot/indigestion
-intense dyhydration
-abdomminal pain once the garbage got moving inside me from drinking water.
-my voice dropped signifigantly!!!! (can someone please tell me why?)

Overall id say the biggest blow is to my sinuses and mental state. The worst part is just how addictive that stuff is, and how dull i felt. Today (sunday/halloween) i am doing a water fast till late tonight myb monday depending on how i feel, as i want the lectins and other various poisons (soy lectin/milk powder, wheat powder ect) out of my body. I can now see why fat/SAD people eat so much of this shit, as they cannot feel their body and the repercussions, so they just have more cause its so instantly satisfying and addictive, i remember in my sad days i ate so much candy and never felt like i do right now. Questions/comments please.

i havent smoked for a year but used to be perma fried in my SAD days for a few years. i just was thinkin about how weed has lots of toxins in it and wutnot, but myb that is due to heating it(kinda like food). google does not help with this, as people like to smoke for quick results, and they all say u need heat to activate thc which makes no sense to me. maybe release it from the plant, but what are ur guys thoughts? i wanna be more creative so m contemplating dif things like i am now becoming left handed. so:
1) does organic outdoor weed have toxins raw?
2) any vitamins/minerals in weed (no info on this either from health sites/stoners)
3) high metabolism from weed suggests to me that ur body does not want this stuff inside it : so there fore is it poison?

ty//discsion green flag is waving

i have read on many of the search engine results vit E comes from nuts/seeds and spinach in low amounts. Is there any meat in particular or some easy way to get it w.o supplements? ty

they have the best prices and products. only downfall is getting there, but all their stuff is pastured and grass fed, no pesticieds, growth hormones..... and they cannot lie when u ask them a question (strong religious folk). this may be obvious for some, but its a great place for food. just sayin (we go to our omish friends a lot, but they dont do paleo, but i have not told them yet. my mom goes way more than me)

There are some Paleo Resterants over the place. They are called high class country clubs. My family is members at one in London Ontario Called The Hunt Club. All food is locally organic, meet grassfed/organic and you can order it raw.(in ontario we have a limit on certain organs you can eat though). But ya, check it out, maybe you have one too, hopefully membership is not required like at The Hunt

I am 21, have been eating paleo for 3 some months, but just started eating my organic grass fed meat raw almost 2 weeks ago. i like to be honest and tell people about what i do, but he is really closed minded and thinks i am insane at this point (lol). He will not let me eat my meat raw in the house, and unfortunately i have to live here for the next year due to financial reasons. I have tried to tell him why its better and that its only social conditioning/comfort, but he does not like new ideas or things that make him feel uncomfortable with what he knows.
CAN ANYONE GIVE ME REALLY GOOD INFO/ SCIENTIFIC DOCUMENTED REASONS AS TO WHY RAW MEAT IS BETTER!!!!!?? PLEASE. ty
