Ever considered eating:
Fish meal
krill meal
crab meal
lobster meal
meal worm meal
or for that matter any other 'meal'? I have although I must say I have reservations based on sneaking suspicions that the content of the meal is possibly full of toxins. Nevertheless I would be willing to give it a go on the following grounds:
(1) survival food. The 'meal' can be powdered and stored for 2+years.
(2) It is an 'on-the-go' type food that can be mixed with anything or consumed by itself(just ad water!).
(3) It is cost effective and can be ordered in bulk quantities(at approx. $1/lb).

The variety of 'meals', which I take to be used as livestock feed(or domesticated animal feed) is sufficiently varied that it could constitute a staple in one's diet and furnish one with a broad range of nutrients. So my question is: is it a healthful option? Why or why not?
In a way it could be considered an envronmentally friendly option as the constituents of the 'meals' are the cast-offs of the products others consume(the 'fancy' foods).Let me know your thoughts.

I recently bought some olive oil that came in a large can and that was very clear when I opened it and poured it out. What does the clarity of olive oil say about its quality? It claimed to be "olive oil" 100% on the tin and the remaining selections were in clear bottles. My question is whether this is worth consuming or should I discard it altogether? I am currently in a remote location and have no access to better quality food fats other than butter and rendered corn-fed tallow. Any recommendations?

Hi everyone. My question is whether the omega 6 content in eggs is a negative factor in keeping their dietary volume high, I have been eating 1 doz. per day for over 1 year now and would like to reduce the amount of meat I consume. Would anyone think either the current level too high omega-6 FFAs and/or that increasing to 18 per day would be too much on the high side? Please let me know whats up with this issue(eg. health problems)...

These are all valid points but...I like to keep protein to 25-35% of daily calories hence the eggs, and cheese, et.al. Free trimmings from the butcher can't be beaten. I am wondering however if store bought eggs and cheese are worth whatever risks they entail(skewed 0-3:0-6 ratios, high-sodium, pasteurization, etc.)...

Are they necessary at all though? If so, at what level? If not: why not limit them as much as posiible instead of seeking to calibrate 0-3:0-6?

A simple example illustrates the intent of this question: Product A:free-range, grain-fed chicken eggs: $6.00/dozen Product B:factory eggs: $2.30/dozen

Weighing costs and benefits, would it not behoove one to simply up the intake of Product B and forgo product A altogether if one desires to increase nutrient intake? I mean this with regards to: beef, cheeses, eggs, butter, organs, and all other animal products and by-products. It seems the organic folk are very good salespeople.

Thanks guys: YS: would you eat most of these organs raw(kidneys exempted perhaps)? How do you obtain them. Brains are obviously a difficulty as per gov.control and all.
Good sources of fats though. What about suet? Isn't this a fat that would be advisable to consume(ie. high on the list, perhaps higher than the others).
Would you not render fat at all, but just eat it as is? How would you prepare it(blend it, etc.) to make it more palatable or easily digested?

Thanks for the responses

Thanks for the reply. Would you speculate that the "may contain.." on the label would likely imply harmful colour?

My question concerns the proper amount of calcium to be consumed per day. I want to avoid calcification of the soft tissues and maintain bone density also: currently I am consuming two eggshells(from large eggs) per day spaced out approx. 12 hours. Should I increase or decrease calcium? I am pretty sure this amounts to approx. 1500+mgs. per day. Any advice would be appreciated.

That saves me a lot of time/effort. ANd here I was paranoid over the idea that bacteria would swarm over a piece of meat left out of the fridge/freezer. Would you know any ways to keep the bugs away if you were in my shoes: living in a seacan on farmland with weather that ranges between -5 and +24 degrees celcius? Hope you can help.

Hi all, I am wondering if cardio(and of what sort) is compatible with power/olympiclifting. Currently I am walking 30 minutes per day at a brisk pace but have stumbled upon some information regarding tabata/HIIT training that I had not known about previously. I am wondering if there are any knowledgeable folk out there who know what variety of cardio works best with the above styles of weight/strength training? I could always use soem improvement and avoidance of the demon cortisol in massive amounts. Any feedback would be a help.
