They said human flesh tastes like pork,kind of sweet and it is not that meaty,only the buttock area offers more meat.
Some can be expensive.,if it is branded Rockefeller !

5 servings,so you eat a banana for breakfast or black berries with your cereal.
for lunch you eat an apple,for snack, a plum,then dinner,you have 2 servings of broccoli or cauliflower or carrots or brussel sprouts or spinach.
LETTUCE does not count,it has very little nutrition value

There you go - colourful variety ;thumb:

corn and peas are starchy,brocoli has mercury,too much broccoli is bad for us,spinach has iron,but I dont know if we absorb much?
soy bean milk has all the nutrients as dairy milk but iron.
I eat red meat,it gives you quality animal protein and iron,what is wrong with a good steak every now and then,and it saves you fuel,you dont need to cook it to death.
everynow and then I will have liver with onion in a cafeteria !

My diet consists of Venison, antelope, wild turkey, wild Pork, Walleye, Red Fish, Snapper, Crappie, occasionally store bought chicken, Organic Callards/Swisschard/sweet potato, beats, farm raised eggs, and apples, pears and almonds everyday as snacks. Almost never any dairy or breads.

Re: eating 5 servings of veggies/fruit a day
 

where do you get vension and antelope?
walleye or pike,you must be in the Midwest.
I ate Red fish a few times,firm texture but not too tasty like walleye pike,seabass or cod

Vietnamese and Philipinals will eat fertilised eggs for the hormone,once I ,not knowing any better ,bought some fresh eggs and boil them in water,like a homemade horror show,I found a dead chick inside???????

We shoot them and catch them. We basically only eat animals we kill with the exception of chicken and the occasional store bough bacon.

Artisan bread is good to eat,if you heat it up and spread a little butter over it.
Who said no one will go to the supermarket some day,I just found out about Talenti gelato,it is icecream but puffed up with air.
They sell the empty jars on Ebay,I use them to keep nuts,nails,small change,flour?breadcrumbs

who does the butchering?

Re: eating 5 servings of veggies/fruit a day
 

We do. Today we are processing two mule deer bucks and one doe. This week we will make 100 pounds of Summer Sausage for xmas gifts, 25 pounds of breakfast sausage, 25 pounds of mild Italian sausage, 25 pounds of Hot sausage and balance in burger.

This year we shot a few hogs, handful of turkeys, 7 antelope, 9 mule deer, couple whitetails. Pretty average year.

Re: eating 5 servings of veggies/fruit a day
 

I read somewhere that eating meat causes some kind of build up in your bowel.

Re: eating 5 servings of veggies/fruit a day
 

/100 pounds of Summer Sausage for Xmas gifts - wow. Lot of shipping?

Re: eating 5 servings of veggies/fruit a day
 

Yea, It is about 50 sticks. We usually send two sticks Priority Mail. Everyone loves it. So family, friends, anyone who has helped us over the course of the year get some unless they don't eat meat. :)

Protein, yes, but then you expel it during your next bowel movement. :juggle:
