Well I rarely watch TV, and of course I turn off all the lights before bed(ahh you mean like for many hours before bed? sit around for hours in the dark doing nothing?). I even wear a blindfold. I still get very restless unless I take melatonin or all the area's power goes out

Lol did you see the vid I posted on another thread? A bird in a bird in a bird in a pig.

where? I can't find it

   I wish I had some fresh raw pasture raised bacon or pork belly right now.  It can be a pretty economical food to live off of, and healthy for you too.  

healthy? cheap? !!!

I noticed something interesting... there are lots of gnats?(I think they are but all my image searches for 'gnat' show up w/mosquito looking fuckers) where I live and any food that's left out they get into(they even get into my fridge and then die in there...). Well when I was fermenting my sweet potatoes they got in and laid their offspring(little white worms). Well they did it again in some fairly high meat I was trying to dry out on my counter and I noticed that the worms that grew on the meat were twice as big as those that grew in the sweet potato stuff.

It's interesting because of the whole vegetarian vs meat eater, growth size thing that people talk about with humans. Seems to be the same with these insects... interesting though that the largest land animals - elephants and giraffes are vegetarian. I guess it has to do with their digestive systems... meh, pointless topic? x_x

This is what I'd be eating if I never had any medical problems that got me on this raw diet x))

So the dry meat will not rot or decompose (in a becoming inedible kind of way)?  What about keeping it away from mice and cockroaches?  My building has both varmints, though I have seen neither in my own apartment, on in neighboring apartments.

you'll want to keep them open in the fridge  & maybe oven then

    Why?  Do you think this would be good indefinitely?  I want to know what happens and what you learn.

because it seems like it would be the easiest/quickest form of quality nourishment to digest. Whenever I do juice fasts I always get increased strength & energy. Seems like if I did that with blood/milk it should be much healthier and would I even need anything else?? I don't know..

I wish I could find a game meat supplier... seems very difficult since it's illegal to sell :/

It seems unnecessary to cook fat in order to make this... if you needed something for a trip you could just bring dried meat and regular fat with you, that way nothing would have to be cooked. Right?

yeah I had massive cravings for things like coconut butter, nuts, dried fruit, etc. when I first started but now(maybe 6 months in) I don't crave anything unless I'm walking down a supermarket isle and the smells hit me x_x

whenever I'm hungry but none of the meat I have seems appealing I just eat some raw fat and that does the trick

That trader joe's honey is pretty nice. It's not excessively sweet. And it's pretty cheap for quality honey at $6/lb.

Not sure if it's completely unheated though. You could probably call them and ask.

Even if it "spoils" it's just semi-high meat... I've been eating meat that I've had in closed jars for months. I'm getting tired of the taste though so I'm going to be leaving the tops off so it drys and locks in the taste as well as prevents most of the bacteria growth. There are some videos on youtube showing this.

After reading Lex's meat drying techniques http://www.rawpaleodiet.com/recipes/, instead of making the whole box thing, I've just skewered my meat(or even laid the meat on top of skewers) over plates, wide jars, pots, pans, etc. This way the full outside drys but it's not as extreme dryness as jerky ^_^

I don't really enjoy eating raw egg whites(cooked seem fine - though I wouldn't do that after learning about this raw diet). I'd like to be able to only eat the yolks but it seems like such a waste to throw away the whites... they usually comprise about 70% of the whole egg and quality eggs aren't cheap! - in my area they are around $4/5 per dozen.

awesome
