Hello all, I'm a nineteen year old pre-medical college student interested in nutrition, bodybuilding, and staying healthy. I've been aware of my body and health my whole life, but until recently I've been following the completely wrong dogma (aka mainstream BS about eating more whole grain etc). I've followed a carbohydrate restricted diet for about a year now, and I've now moved to raw paleo because I find as time passes, I find my body craving raw meat more and more.

I have yet to truly make the leap to eating raw meat however because of the stigma ingrained in me since childhood regarding E. Coli, parasites and food poisoning from eating raw meat. To this end, I need your help. I did a search but didn't find anything though I"m sure there are sources on this forum. Could someone tell me or give me a link to a comprehensive guide on how to select, store, and eat raw meat? What kind of meat is good? Only grass fed? Grain fed? Is pre-packaged like the ones found in the refrigerated section of whole foods okay? How do I store the meat? Thanks!
