I found an interesting documentary on water:

Not really much to do with this thread, but it's pretty neat anyways

Came out of the gym today, ate my daily 20oz ground beef + 10g cacao beans + 10g walnuts post workout snack, and then had the hardest craving for turkey pepperettes and whiskey.  (Pepperettes are mass produced cured meat sticks)  SO I thought OK I'll try some pepperettes.

My effin' head is pounding now.  Heartrate very high compared to what it usually is.  Holy headache.  Every beat of my heart is like a shockwave going through my head right now,  WTH!   I'm shaking and feel weak and am bloated.  Brutal.  It's already subsiding, I ate about 250g of the stuff.  What gets me is that people eat this stuff EVERY DAY!!! :-O

Ingredient list from the package:
-turkey, potassium lactate, salt, sugar, hydrolyzed corn protein, potassium choride, spices and spice extracts, onion powder, dextrose, lemon powder, sodium ascorbate, garlic powder, smoke flavor, sodium nitrite, smoke.

I feel like shit.  And typing out that ingredient list makes me feel even more like shit, like what the fuck was I thinking!  I threw the rest of them out...and I didn't give into the whiskey btw, lol.  I hope I haven't gone too far backwards now   But at least it's really hit home that raw paleo is the way to go.  I'm still blown away that I used to be able to eat this crap every day, and the general population continues to do so :O

Thanks!!!

It's too bad we can't eat wild turkey!  Around here is so much farmland, one never knows what they've been eating...how many soybeans or corn laced with who knows what chemical concoction   Grain gets spilled in the fields too and they'll eat that as well.  I shoot a couple turkeys every year and give the meat to my neighbours who cook their food....same with my deer   So sad that if I want naturally fed wild game I have to go to a wild game farmer.

Matt

I am intrigued as to what sorts of food you often eat at work?

Ground beef, every day!

Matt

grass fed, corn finished ground beef over here....I buy the beef by the side and get it all ground up.  40-60oz/day, no issues here.  But I do know my farmer, butcher, and animal!  They say it's grass finished since corn is considered a grass, but nothing otherwise

Matt

Has anyone tried eating bones?  I don't mean the marrow, like actual bones....filing, crushing, or grinding down some bones, and sprinkling the result over your meal, or mixing it with some water and drinking it...or?

I couldn't find any info online about this....I'm unsure too if we humans could efficiently digest/process bones.  I was just thinking about this as a source of calcium/minerals.

Thoughts?

shellfish at least appear to have less parasites overall, I'm not too worried about eating those raw.

I like fish but have never eaten it raw.  Saw some at the grocery store today tho. (one I rarely go to)  There was Whiting (whole, not gutted) and Trout. (gutted)  Both the kinds of fish came from Lake Huron, and were labelled "fresh."  Of course the girl behind the counter had no idea how fresh exactly, but they hadn't been frozen.

Anyways, how do I know the source is safe?  Or how old it is? Is there some way to tell by looking at the fish?  Do I need to gut the Whiting before eating?  I did some reading about fish and there's a lot of scare tactics out there regarding parasites and whatnot....so I need some guidance plz

I DID buy some live oysters which tasted wonderful btw.  I still don't understand how TWO live ones can cost $3, when you can buy a can of 15 smoked/processed ones for $0.95 lol

Matt

well, I did try it again...I threw it through the meat grinder and yumyum!

Matt

well that's just plain gross.  glad i know my farmer and butcher!!

Matt

I love my beef heart, but it's far too tough for me to eat raw.  I still slow cook it, which makes it tender and taste fine....but I wish it was raw.  I thought I might try grinding it up, or making it into a paste in the food processor...or??  Anyone have any other ideas?

Matt

So my paranoia has set in slightly lol.

After I thaw beef from the freezer, and left in the fridge, how many days "should" it still be ok for to eat raw?  I've been letting it go max 24hrs, but timing things all the time can get complicated.

And what if left in a lunchbag for a few hrs at a mediocre cool temp...how long can I leave it before cooking might be needed?

Opinions welcome

Matt

I'm there with you in spirit!!!  Love it
