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

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?

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?

Hey I had some collard greens this morning, but just the leaves.  are the stems edible as well???  is there any reason I shouldn't eat them?

I buy all my beef (which I eat raw) from a friend's farm.  Their animals are grassfed and grassfinished.  Prior to finishing, they're pastured, and will eat grass bales.  But when the animals are finished, they're fed corn...but they're fed the entire corn stalk/plant.  Since the whole plant is considered a grass, they can claim that the animal is "grass finished."  Feeding the whole plant does increase fat mass.

So are these really grassfinished animals?  I only ask because I read somewhere once that corn silage fed to beef can increase the chances of e-coli.  I'm actually just ASSUMING the corn is fed to the animals as silage since I don't know of another method to feed them the whole plant.

Opinions??

Hi, I'm new!  I live in Timmins Ontario Canada, and although not a pure RPD'er, I follow a pretty strict Paleo diet otherwise, and am generally interested in all things food!  Seeya around
