i apologize people. i thought about what i wrote and realized i was being ungrateful. the fact that i even have the chance to do better is testimony that ive been given a privilege. and van youre right, if i want something else i could move out, my parents are doing me a service by housing me. and hanna out of respect for you and myself as well i wouldnt like to speak too much into detail. sometimes im weak and like to complain about my life, but honestly things are good. thanks for hearing my rant.

Okay so cool, we've understood suet, tallow, and the fact that we're actually talking about fat. I'd hate to generalize, but what is the general response to eating fat raw or with raw meat? Ive had the experience with eating butter and cooked marrow, but assuming that butter is not something most animals would have access to, what should i expect from eating large amounts of fat(excluding butter whether grassfed, organic, etc)? if you want to specifically give different experiences with different fats from different areas of the body, cool. just feedback is what i would love please, ive understood the terminology

I wrote you guys a four page letter but it got lost in the loading process. here's a summary:

Basically

KD is right

Dorothy is right

Iguana(Francois) is right as well

Everyone made valid points/arguments. "YOU are the guru!" <--that line will be stolen) but in all seriousness KD isn't wrong when he says that basic citation and/or scientific evidence should be submitted when people have the access to the right info, even just a tiny bit. Problem with the paleo community is that we are based off testimonials by gurus coming up with a brand name diet and not a learned professional(not that i claim they're better or preferred) because there is no industry or special interest behind raw organic foodstuffs compared to processed grain products to fund the research. so if you want to win over people similar to KD, you got to approach in a rational scientific manner sometimes.

Dorothy seems to be valid and its funny because KD is basically saying alot of what Dorothy is saying, but somehow missing each other's point

Iguana(Francois) is right on with the geiger counter example, and that nothing is concrete and everything is tentative. it can be inferred that by what both KD and Iguana seem to both agree on is this is a forum and that we are here to share experiences(usually in the case of a forum like this) and communicate so that we can come to a greater understanding about ourselves and our experiences on particular diets, which leads me to ask....

So how do you all generally feel when you eat fat mono?

Lucky you. If I had ease of access to organic grass finished meats or wild game(even better!) I would slow my consumption of these tropical fruit that come my way. Lately ive been eating only organic apples, but even they are probably grown outside this area. But you definitely make me feel motivated to try to a primarily carnivorous diet this winter, as nature intended me.

I live in Canada by the way

good luck!

Hello all

I'm happy to be able to learn so much from this forum that I decided to join you guys to ask my own questions. Not to waste time:

1.  What is your reaction to eating butter mono(by itself)? Did you find it pleasing or was there any displeasure? What was your analysis?

2.  How about raw suet or animal tallow?
A) What was your reaction and analysis of your body?
B) What exactly did you eat(before-hand and after also) and how was your energy level?
C) How much did you eat? And if you do so currently, how much do you usually eat?

Thanks for the feedback
