Anyone else feel that perhaps a reason why everyone is so depressed around us (outside of diet reasons) is due to a sub-conscious or conscious lack of community in today's society? One need only look at the web to see the truth in this. The massive amounts of dating websites, the forums (not just for advice), and chat rooms.  I remember reading up on one author who explained why, for example, when one is rejected from a potential mate or group of friends, the reason why the the rejection feeling is associated with a feeling of death to most people is because back in the day when we we're in our tribes, rejection did mean death. If humans were rejected from the tribe and left on their own to survive, it was only a matter of time before they were killed by predators or starved to death. Today's all the new means of communication (e.g. texting, internet) doesn't seem to do justice to real in the moment face to face interaction. Thus, we have some fellow raw paleoists eating together on skype because today's society has rejected the idea of eating raw animal products and we are lacking the once social activity of eating. There is no doubt we are social animals. Today, at least in the US and in other industrialized nations, there is no tribe/community. Once community organized events are disappearing.  A lot of people are stuck in their homes and are suspicious of their neighbors.  I know this isn't the case for everyone and everywhere and I apologize if this just sounds like rambling but its just something I've been thinking about lately.  Perhaps this all comes as a result of society that is based on an exchange of currency. Thoughts?

Does anybody here stay or have stayed to a strictly raw dairy and raw meat diet like the Masai? If so, any comments on such a diet from health perspective?

Do what every you want dude! I don't think a cup of Tea will kill you whether cavemen did it or not, while so many things that are out of your control could. Get stoned, drink tea and enjoy life a little  ! Just don't over do it. Everything in moderation is key. 

I think this guy has it reversed. Not True  ? http://www.raw-food-health.net/LowFatDiet.html

Can anyone tell me the difference between the two? And which is better to consume? Also, is Cow's butter or  Goat's better for human consumption?

You haven't found an organ you like?

Which ones have you tried?

Liver is the most tolerable because i use to eat liverwurst pate as a kid on crackers.  Heart taste like nothing. and kidneys are just tooo strong tasting and smelling (must be the urine in them) so thats the deal thus far. I'm afraid to try pancreas.

I'm trying to go mostly carnivore to. At the moment...I dont enjoy eating fat right out of the fridge at all and when I leave it out in the open air it tends to get dryer and "crumblier". should I just force myself to get used to it and hope ill eventually crave it or should I perhaps heat it a little bit to make it more palatable?

So I've been debating taking some of these supplements to help assist in going as low carb as possible. I was told L-Glutamine and Gymnema Sylvestre are great for killing sugar cravings and L-Carnitine reduces the time it takes to go into a ketogenic state. Anybody had any luck with these?

When going ZC, would it be safe to go : 1/2 pound lean muscle meat, 1lb mix of organ meats, and 2/3lb fat as the main meal? I'm trying to avoid becoming to thin and developing kidney stones. I read in the book Primal body-Primal Mind that 45-55 grams of protein was sufficient for an olympic body builder and the excessive protein is just as bad as eating excessive carbs. So please help me find the a good balance.

what is the best solution for dandruff? Ive been raw paleo but perhaps I need to go RAF strictly? Can I assume its Candida at this point?

Is it safe to eat uncured pastured bacon?
