I have watched my sheep getting slaughtered, even though I do not plan to slaughter at home (small, one-room apartment with a large patio). I bring home a quartered carcass with the entrails in bags, then do some cutting in my kitchen and hanging in my refrigerator.

The best instructions are on youtube. Many butchers have videos about butchering various animals. IMO, video is preferable over text instructions because a "live action" event like a slaughter is better seen than read about. Sabertooth's (AKA Derek Hunter on youtube) slaughter and butchering videos are outstanding.

People use a long fermentation time (more than just overnight or 24 hours) when they like a sour dairy taste or when they want to get rid of all the milk sugars (lactose). Sour dairy is an ethnic food for me: even though I do not tolerate dairy well, the odor and taste say, "Comfort Food!!!' to me.

As an avid kimchi eater, I find that some kimchis cause inflammation, while others are no problem at all. Remember, there is no universal kimchi recipe. In fact, each kimchi has a different flavor because each fermenter uses different ingredients according to region and culture.

In addition, a person can be universally allergic to hot peppers, for example, so that person would probably get their hot-pepper reaction to all red kimchis.

I'm interested in your opinion about the paleo food itself, the quality of my blog and how I could both improve my recipes. What are the most common questions and misconceptions that uninformed people have about paleo diet? Are you willing to read about the scientific background behind the positive influence paleo food has on our body? How could I improve my presentation so that more people seriously considers switching to this kind of food?

I think that most people are under the misconception that mankind used culinary "recipes" and "seasonings" during the paleolithic period. However, hunting and gathering were the activities at the very core of the paleolithic cuisine - of course, allowing that the word cuisine itself is not accurate for this period.

Perhaps a more general guide to eating without cooking and without grand preparation and presentation would be more authentic. For example, here, we discuss how can meat be stored without modern kitchen science.

I only looked at the front page of your blog. Even the idea of mixing ground almonds with extracted coconut oil is un-paleo - where in the world would a paleolithic hunter-gatherer at once find almonds (a temperate-zone nut) with coconut (a tropical nut)? And then, where would this h-g find a grinder to process the raw materials?

Like many other modern attempts to find mankind's perfect diet, featuring processed-food cooked recipes is a giant step in the wrong direction. At the risk of fashioning myself as the Paleo Police, I would say that calling a cooked recipe paleo when it is merely grain- and legume-free is misleading. Many people come to this forum with progressing illness and they have been helped by eating raw, unprocessed foods.

How did you overlook the simplicity of early man's cuisine in your study of paleolithic eating practices?

Well the kefir grains' genetics will be all distorted and mutated for the worse, plus they will have plenty of toxins to eliminate into the milk, for how many generations, I don't know, but some of the damage may be permanent.

Bacteria distort and mutate in a matter of minutes and hours, which is why they are useful co-digesters in the human gut microbiome. Making kefir with grains, you would start with such a small quantity, but in one single overnight batch, you would have many generations. I'm not trying to convince you for or against anything, but I think this would be the least of your worries. I prefer to dismiss worries of this small size.

Salt in cheesemaking, and in fermentation in general, narrows the range of bacteria that will grown in the milk, thus discouraging untasty flavors. (Temperature is the other main control.) I've found that "slimy" fermentation comes from not having enough salt for the ambient heat during fermentation.

What cheese forms if you just let your milk clabber (curdle naturally)?

Have you tried using kefir grains? They work in unheated milk, whereas most other commercial cultures want you to kill off the natural bacteria and enzymes in milk by heating it (for consistent results). Kefir can be strained to make a cheese which can be eating immediately or aged.

I'm your typical overweight westerner who would like to be healthy. Not enough I guess since i haven't been very succesfull at it...

Focusing on diet alone is not a good way to approach typical overweight in Western society. In fact, choosing a healthy diet is often a sign that you have resolved the factors that trigger overeating. Your lack of success is a sign that you have not gotten to the root of your overweight problem.

Finding your triggers and learning how to make effective choices (that means: a choice that leads you where you want to go) will lead you to natural, wholesome food choices. The triggers can be biochemical (such as hormonal imbalance, blood-sugar issues, inflammatory responses to allergens) and/or emotional (such as anger, boredom, sorrow), and are easy to find if you look for them. Eliminate your triggers and it will be a simple matter to eat foods that are healing.

If you are eating cooked foods, a first step would be to eliminate grains, legumes, sugary foods, and allergens. That will reduce inflammation and go a long way to balancing blood sugar and other hormones.

A balanced, calorie-sufficient, nutrient-dense diet is easy to obtain while eating raw paleo foods - very good for effortless weight loss.

I get the impression that this is a scam, too. There is nothing authentically "paleo" about simply eliminating grains, legumes, sugars, and chemicals. Seasoning and processing are not paleo, either. Defending the price of your monthly selection does nothing to justify using the word "paleo" to describe its contents.

Pardon me if I, too, got my impression from the picture of last month's contents, but isn't that how you are advertising your product?

Paleolithic diet derives from true ancestral eating patterns. Everything you offer - packaged snacks - is pure 20th and 21st century. I am writing this to inform people who read your post here that there is a wonderful, healing paleolithic-type diet to be found in whole, ancestral foods.

"All these types of story follow the same pattern - lived off raw fish. Where did he get those? I spent countless hours as a child fishing and would go days not catching anything even using the proper equipment. I doubt fish were jumping into his boat."

This is the doubt that seems logical.  Maybe the survivor was a really good fisherman.

You should read the article, GS... he explains how he caught the fish. I think it was damn clever

Given that cooked foods notoriously cause a lot of inflammation in the body,  female RPDers should not be experiencing PMS, I would think. Or are there exceptions?

I experience other inflammation symptoms, and cooked foods are not the culprit; environmental and food allergies and sensitivities are to blame. My symptoms are as severe when I eat a raw allergen as when I eat a cooked allergen.

Inflammation symptoms for me include muscle aches and cramps, bruxism, racing heart rate, and high blood pressure, not to mention several famous-name diseases. The symptoms of inflammation are too numerous to mention because potentially any body system reacts to inflammation in its own way.

I use a large old "banger" screwdriver hit with a hammer.

My main reason for eating domesticated animals and not humans is because humans reach their mature size so slowly, and the frisky young ones are unbearably noisy and need a lot of pasture with sturdy playground structures and ball fields.

Forgive me if I sounds naïve, I am new to this site and to RFD, what is the warrior diet?
