I would love to get something like that organised but it's a bit lonely for RAF'ers in my neck of the woods. Good samaritans the closest! The amount of London people will start to grow for sure? there seems to be a few. It will happen, I would move to London if it did, just for the summer though!
Hey Geoff
I'm starting to get the feeling that you believe hide fat is better than suet. I'm open to the idea also, where did you get the info that hide fat has more omega 3. Suet seams to be prized by weston price primitives but I'm guessing hide fat was too.
I would love to just have a huge supply of ox tongue, that fat is special IMO I have no evidence though...
i do consume a fair amount of raw dairy(raw butter is amazing) but i must say if i eat/ drink too much in the course of a couple of days i get a sore throat which will disappear within 24 hours if i dont consume anymore...perhaps there is something to be said for that but i do find it makes me feel good and i otherwise process it just fine.
Yeah, I never buy tap water. I buy spring water by the gallon.
I haven't seen mineral water in 5L bottles ever... you'd probably have to order those online, huh?
Do you recommend alkaline mineral water for taste reasons only? I just checked and the kinds I've been drinking are less than 7.0 pH. I think they taste fine, but is there another reason why alkaline would be better?
Thanks Geoff. Layer Marney does look good. Incredibly they're relatively local too. I grew up in Essex so I know the area well. I will contact them to try to divulge further feed information such as what they're fed during the housed period between Jan - March. I also came across another place which looks really good and it's cycling distance from me! I'm waiting to hear back from them by email but if I get a chance will try to visit this weekend. See what you think of Brecks Farm here: http://www.back-to-the-garden.co.uk/
On the subject of eating lamb in general and you mentioning buying a whole leg - how do you go about eating it? Most lamb cuts seem to be so fatty! I've only ever eaten cutlets or meaty chops. Do you eat all of that fat too?! I've always had a real problem eating the meat fat on the organic beef I buy as it, literally, makes me gag.
Interestingly though, I had my 1st delivery from the Well Hung Meat Company today and have eaten 1/2kg of their braising steak tonight including the extensive amount of surrounding fat. It didn't make me gag at all and was actually quite nice! The meat tasted so different to what I've been used to as well. As I'd read about grass-fed, the muscle meat itself was quite a strong, gamey taste. Evidence perhaps of their commitment to being grain free!
re: butter - I certainly intend on excluding it from my diet eventually. It's so rare that I have any now that I have virtually excluded it by default! But, I am concerned about my low fat intake. If I had a reliable source (or any source for that matter!) of suet and marrow then the butter would be history. An interesting thought about simply using egg yolks though. As you say, certainly fertilised eggs are unheard of in the UK. In what way does this alter the avidin argument, however? I'd be very interested to hear your further comments about that.
wodgina6722 I know exactly where you're coming from! The worst thing I ever did was introduce a couple of good friends to the primal diet. My butter, cream and honey supply was suddenly reduced by 66% !!!! Still, taking a more selfless view my actions did help improve their lives & health dramatically. I'm a little less generous with my sources these days though!
I'm guessing its not eating for around 24 hours, like just eating a single meal per day, every day?
I'm having trouble finding an exact definition on the net. Most sites (that I can access--I'm at work) talk about the advantages, disadvantages, etc. without actually saying what it is.
I'm about to eat some lamb liver that's been in the fridge for a week, or a little over a week.
Is there any bacterial benefit to this at all? Has that been enough time? Or will I just be eating disgusting old liver for no extra benefit at all? I know most high meat is like a month old, right?
This is the oldest meat that I'll have ever eaten. I usually find liver to be pretty gross after 3 days in the fridge... I can't imagine what this is gonna be like.
The host of oneradionetwork.com scheduled the interview on 2 different occasions and Aajonus either did not answer or the phone was busy. Very disappointing to say the least and definitely the last time I will try to promote Aajonus to anyone. I'll post the interview if it ever happens.
Brunette ... with blue eyes is wild!
Wine or beer?
Hmm. Not sure. My younger years I would've definitely said right, but I've come to see the wonders of left as well.
You were talking about the entire "concept" of left and right, correct?
There is a large difference between the abundance of paleo foods and junk foods. Saying that simply the abundance of food causes obesity and diabetes I don't agree with. I may be wrong, but no one's gonna get diabetes from eating too much raw meat.
If that is irrelevant, then why bring up junk-food in the first place which is obviously bad for you. That is not a point you're making. That's your opinion. We all know that too much of anything is bad for you. Where have you proven that people are overeating just because they have an abundance of food?
What premises would that be?
So what goal did you achieve then, hum? I bet when food was available, you eat and were happy.You said it right! -> "makes it very tempting" That does NOT mean people are or will overeat. Now, you narrow it down to junk food instead of food in general. Now admittedly I loathe junk food but even junk food is alright in the right portions. The danger lies in consuming too much of it too often.
What 'goal'? When a person is starving they are not achieving any goal! Have you ever been starving because you couldn't eat not because you choose not to eat? Also, that statement is false. Starving = lack of a sufficient food supply, fasting = there is sufficient food available but one chooses not to partake it.
Ridiculous. How has the amount of food available related to disease? I would think it's what you eat plus you can't assume that people are eating themselves to gluttony.
That's true. Since reading that, I have been just swallowing my food whole and it does save time. Seems right as well, the animals I see on national geographic always gulf their food down as quickly as possible without chewing for the most part.
