Athletes are like the 0.1% of smokers who get to live past 90 years old. Just because some of them get to live that long doesn't mean smoking is not dangerous. How athletes react to cooked food is just not relevant, they have best genes a human could hope for while some of us here are on the opposite side of the gene spectrum.

Its not all genes. They undergo surgeries/drug regime etc to perform -  that is not my definition of health, its a very narrow perspective on health: redefinition of the word athlete and health.

Life can be long and health can have many facets. ( i would much prefer a short one)

Me neighbors (husband and wife) are both olympic athletes in their late forties - i think a lot of you will have better health at that age - most of them are like the US economy - borrowing from the future health.

..who knows.. maybe we all here downplay the advantage that wealth, airtravel and 'banging sluts' provide.

being in the zone (mentally/emotinally/physically/spiritually) - does compensate a bad diet (or lifestyle) to a certain extent.

For some short peroid of my life i have been there, food and sleep were not necessary, used to get away with very little food/sleep. But whatever little i ate i used to chew like crazy....

this is not feasible for people who live in metropolitan areas.  i would not eat anything grown within 100 mile radius even if it is grass-fed because of proximity to industrial pollution and so many highways.

probably true. i have seen that grass fed beef (and raw milk) around where i live is not great (Central NJ). however when i get them from remote locations, they tend to be better.

KD,
 thats some serious amount of food/calorie, you must be doing some serious workout.

In light of abouve comments, do you guys think it would safe to eat raw pork from slankers?

If yes then which cut should i start with (this will be a first)

everyday, multiple times a day - it becomes normal and useful when practiced, and in conjunction with systematic regular meditation.

do you meditate regularly?

I imagine your response is going to vary on a person's dairy tolerance, so bear the following in mind for my case: after eating butter a few more times this last week I got really sick of the taste and didn't want to eat anymore, like a really strong "stop signal." In earlier experiments I ate butter and sour cream for 2 months without any of these reactions. However, when I had tried to drink raw milk (~1 quart a day) in the past, I never really acclimated to it, even after 1.5 months, still getting gas and electrolyte imbalance symptoms.

Raw grassfed butter does the same to me, not having similiar issues with lard, or raw animal fat. I get clear stop signal with animal fat, and satiety too.

with fruitarian, i ended with weightloss, fragile bones.

What you think of self made almond butter(dried not soaked so I added water to the blender).
Me and my friends are doing some now.

And the most Important question can I eat beef shank raw(not grassfed   )? the meat from legs? its very deep red in color.

Yesterday me and my friends we had lamb leg cooked of course I didn't even want to mention them that I wana try it raw they would think I'm psycho.

Dont eat too much almond or at least dont do it often.

I've been drinking 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar diluted with water before meals and there has been some improvement. Does anyone have any experience in using this for indigestion? How much do or did you use while having digestive issues? Any suggestions at all?

I would like to solve this issue because it's hard to eat when my stomach feels full for most of the day. I'm not getting enough calories and my weight is going down.

i am trying raw honey, it seems to helping bit with digestion, also reduced my water intake. Previously i used to drink water - even when the body did not ask for it.

Also at some point in my life I plan on purchasing a hunting permit and hopefully bringing home some wild game meat that way. In Kentucky where I live, it is ridiculous the amount of red tape one needs to wade through, just to get a gun and go out into the woods to bring back some dinner for the family. But I'll do it someday.

I dont know much about hunting but why not bow and arrow. Its equally effective, not sure if that too involves red tape.

I am on food stamps and I use it mainly to buy my wife and kids food, I have 3 kids and a stay at home wife and make less than 30,000 a year so that qualifies me for 500 dollars a month in food assistance. Every six months I have to show proof of income and get the card renewed. Good food is so expensive and I wouldn't be able to live as well If I didn't have that assistance. There is an Irony about the program which is if I made an extra 500 a month through hard work I would lose my benefits so I am stuck on this reservation with no motivation to better my income. There are many people who are in the same situation. There is no motivation for me to work harder for less money, so I am better off camping out on the boarderline of poverty.

We get some choice Items at the whole foods store and I try to buy some of the cleaner foods the standard grocery stores have to offer. I buy my meats with cash from a restaurant. I am fairly poor and I have to budjet my diet strictly and I have sacrificed many material goods to be able to afford good food for my family. It is well worth not having cable TV , my own  cell Phone, new shoes, curtains, appliances, or a fancy ride, car insurance, etc in order to provide me and my family with good food.

I see wealthy people who have everything , but feed their kids garbage, many of these these kids are surrounded by fancy toys and material goods but they are being made sickly and stupid from bad nutrition and I know that my children are much better off than the majority of children who come from wealthy homes.

I justify my eatting at the governments expense by knowing that If I couldn't afford to feed my family well, then the government would be having to pay for a lifetime of their medical expenses due to the sickness that are cause by poor nutrition. As things are, I never have to take my kids to a government Doctor, except for their yearly check ups in which they are labeled to be perfectly healthy. Do you know how much money I will save the government just by raising healthy kids.

I know many poor families who actually sell their food stamps for drug money and let their kids live on noodles and cereal.

Wow Sabertooth,
 you are very wise indeed - it took me a long time to figure this out. I agree with everything you say. But you still should try to read good books - i believe books and nature are the best teachers.

have you tried foraging or growing ur own food?
