Raw duck- is it good, is it fatty?  I have found a great local source for this and may purchase it, also plain duck fat too if possible. Ever had plain raw duck fat?

Is the texture of suet the same as beef back fat? i've heard its waxy, is that true?

I don't like them. i don't enjoy drinking or smoking marijuana. I can't understand why people think it's cool and fun. when people ask me if i drink or smoke i scoff and say "no why would i"

Marijuana doesn't seem to have any positive health effects when smoked and it just makes a person too relaxed and carefree. i don't want to be relaxed. i want to be on the top of my game at all times, especially at work-always pushing the limit. also when i want to be relaxed, i do just that. Lay down on my bed and relax. I don't need to pay $5 each time to do it and cause lung damage.

And drinking alcohol may be healthfully okay when done in small amounts, but i really don't think it is good for a person. Getting drunk is so gross. Throwing up and being all promiscuous, yuck. I don't care to be ininhibited. I love being inhibited. I like being uptight. It's fun, having a good time with my wits fully intact. And sometimes people ask me "so are you just the designated driver or something?" I just laugh "heck no, I may not be a real social butterfly, but i've got better things to do than drive a bunch of drunk people around all night. i'd rather stay home and watch a 3 hour golden girls marathon than do that"

I like to be at the top of my game at all time. I want to be in my best wits at all times. Relaxing is nice after work, but i want to be able to snap out of in in an instant if i need to. 

Well, I was just wondering if anyone else felt the same way as me. It seems like everyone at my work does not agree with me, bunch of hippies:)

have any of you noticed a difference in taste of grass fed beef and beef fed grass hay during the winter?

what is oxtail like? Is is similar to bone marrow? i'm asking because a new butcher says he can get it for me.

When i think about eating fruits and vegetables:
fruits seem really acidic and too sugary, my teeth cringe.
vegetables seem really unappetizing. They dont seem fit to eat. so bitter and it feels like i'm eating a houseplant or something.
meat is the only thing that feels right.

What do you eat if you got a bad batch of fat from the butcher? this rarely happens for me, maybe once every couple months. i just cannot eat plain protein without fat to go with. it makes my head hurt if i eat too much protein. the fat also helps my digestion. what i ate this time was organic butter. for 2 days until the next half of beef was cut.

Right now I can get a fair share of organic shank bones per week about 12-15 2 inch size pieces. I want more though. They say at the organic butcher that I could also get the bones from the cows they slaughter which are owned by other people.
I don't know for sure if these cows are 100% organic and grassfed. The butcher said most of the local people don't bother with pestacides and stuff like that, but I can't be sure. I love shank bones and salivate just thinking about them...what do you suggest I do?

I have worked at a natural health food store for 5 months now. We do sell meat and dairy, but we also cater to a large customer base of vegans.  This is what I have discovered about them:
a) the females are oftentimes boyish and look prepubescent in structure and some noticeable facial hair.
b) the males are oftentimes effeminate with high voices and very little muscle mass.
c) vegans are not necessarily thin, some are fat.
d) oftentimes vegans have bad skin.

I have not done any actual research, but just constant observation.

Females: How much meat do you eat per week?
This question is for those who eat most all meat (all raw of course).
I eat about 11 lbs of meat per week, with 2-4lbs raw fat, and the marrow from about 7-8 lbs shank bones. (basically all of the marrow from a side of beef except the pieces that go with certain cuts.) When I tell people how much meat I eat per week they are flabbergasted of course. Because I am rather small and girlish.

I just realized how savage I must look if someone were to see me eating a meal. I usually eat in my car either driving somewhere or parked on my breaks. I just slice off a large chunk and rip at it with my teeth. I don't think I've ever used a fork.

Hi. If my meat gets slightly dried on the outside after being stored in the refer for several day, does it lose nutrition? Also if my beef fat gets slightly dried does it lose nutrition? (it still tastes good) Thanks

P.S. I think I have found the best way to store my meat for up to 5 days, which is great because I was posting here like crazy for a while about it (so annoying) 

I got some raw fat on friday and have been eating it over the weekend. It developed a couple of greenish spots today and the pieces smell strong of plants. What is the best way to store it? I have been storing it on a glass cassarole dish.
