Don't you find that raw meat, like steak tartare and certain sashimi go down better than thoroughly cooked meats? Do you also make your own meat broths?

I have seaweed I purchased from a Korean market and keep forgetting to put it in my broths. It takes some getting used to.

Have you tried the spelt bread.

I have not seen raw butter at the organic market. Organic butter here in Toronto is about $10 a pound, double the price.

What is your take on olive oil?

My body also thinks lard is okay too. How about yours?

Have you tried Adzuki beans?

Hi,

I don't eat meat anymore......but when I ate it , I ate it raw- went raw primal for 4 years after doing NT , I cannot digest cooked meat.....same with fish although lightly cooked light/white fish is fine for me.....

I make my own butter from raw grass fed cream or I buy it from same farm...same goes with kefir which I make from raw goat milk.....

I have celiac and don't do anything with gluten, as much as I would love some home- made sourdough spelt bread...I have to pass.......

I have never eaten lard nor any pork product (I grew up almost vegan- had raw milk a few times per year and tasted raw elk meat when I was 23 years old for first time......)

Sally Fallon followers big on lard....I have friends into that and I did NT minus pork for one pregnancy.......gained a lot of weight but had a baby in under and hour total labor and delivery and it was completely painless.....
NT too heavy on grains and animal products for me........like other aspected of it though....

I like the nutritional philosophies of Nora Gedguada's (Primal Body/Primal Mind) and Donna Gates (Body Ecology) both philosophies are very low in sugars and high in vegetables with some high quality animal proteins and fats from wild and grass fed sources.....

Aduki beans- I used to be a macrobiotic teacher many years ago and ate a lot of aduki beans......I personally don't eat beans or grains........sometimes I will sprout or soak a psuedo grain like amaranth,buckwheat or qunioa and make a raw granola etc; like I did today .......

I use olive oil but gain weight from using it frequently....Sally is correct on that.....I use hemp oil too.....

My body prefers saturated fat such as butter and coconut oil over monosaturates but of course I use those too......I like avocado oil as well and then there's sercha inchi oil...and mac nut oil.......the list goes on.....

I used to make broths but have not in years.....I went back to veganism after that and then a year ago started eating goat dairy and then egg and some fish so no longer vegan......meat doesn't appeal to me......some people thrive on grass fed meats.....everyone has to find out what works for them......
