Hi Higgs,

Ghostery blocks it and I am not about to turn Ghostery
off. Rats! Was looking forward to a good, funny cartoon.

Did not realize you were a penguin. Never heard of
a Jewish penguin. Thought they were all Presbyterians.
Go figure.

Here is a site with two funny ones that Ghostery doesn't
block:

The first one cracks me up. Run Real Fast!

By the way, Paloes are not suppose to eat "cured" meat
(sixth graphic in second cartoon). Fortunately Applegate
sells a great uncured, natural bacon. It is so good!
Hard to stop eating.

Hi Don,

Love the site. Thank you for putting it together!

We Paleos sure do eat well! Too bad I had to get
Diabetes to figure it out.

I love this cartoon:

Hi Higgs,

I have never know Ghostery to interfere with your antivirus.

Also, I have never heard that it spies on you. Mozilla
would knock it off there site (add ons), if it did.

If is scary to see all the places that spy on your
when you surf the Internet. NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS!

Now, since I didn't get to see the cartoon, I expect you
to reach down into the very bottom of your funny bone
and find another one! It had better be funny too,
or, or, or, or (too horrible to repeat but it will
involve A LOT of guilt)!

Are you a dude or a chick? I saw Oren refer to you
in the feminine. I couldn't tell if he was teasing
or not.

The second joke was amusing IMO whereas I just thought the third joke
was apt.

If you go to Settings, then Options, you can check a box that enables
Ghostrank. It then collects anonymous data about the trackers you've
encountered and the sites on which they were placed. This is totally
opt-in.

No kidding. Though to be a strict paleo (organic and no meat from animals
that were feed seeds), it can be expensive.

Some people for lunch have a white meat turkey sandwich on a club roll. The
meat is rather dry, so they add low-fat mayo, iceberg lettuce, and a
tasteless tomato that has been reddened with ethylene gas. And they wash it
down with a soda.

Instead I had for lunch (with my coop prices):

1 non-organic avocado ($1.19)
1/2 juice lime (less than $0.10)
1/4 large red onion, chopped ($0.25)
1/3 lb of wild Java Crab ($6.74)
1.67 oz of organic washed spinach, shredded ($1.11)

Mixed in a 1-1/2 quart Pyrex casserole dish.

I wash it down with Poland Spring bottled water bought on sale.

Now if Anita wasn't having production problems, I would add some of her
coconut yogurt. It is totally pure. Just coconut and cultures.

The above totals to $9.39.

There is a preroll video ad that Adblock Plus is blocking.

Hi Don,

We have a local
rancher that is completely vertical. He grows then, slaughters
them, the whole nine yards. You can buy a quarter side and on up at
a time from him. He feeds him his own grass, which I presume
includes the seeds. He told me, if I am remembering correctly,
that he only gets 2 lbs a day versus 3 lbs if he used straight
grains and chemicals/hormones/antibiotics, etc.. Oh, and
he hangs them too. The taste is extraordinary. His cows
are allowed to move around and only eat when they are hungry.

Feeding them straight grains makes them sick and we definitely
are not suppose to eat carrion. It is a race to get the
cow to slaughter before you kill it.

Seeds (and bugs) are part of chickens natural diet though.

All the local farmers I know have waiting lines for their stuff.
I really would like to get some turkey and duck eggs. Would
love to try some heritage pork too

Oh, perfect killer of ants: guineas. They will wipe out an
ant hill in no time flat, turning the annoying pests into
food (eggs and meat)!

, it can be expensive.

Some people for lunch have a white meat turkey sandwich on a club roll. The

LOW FAT !?!?!?!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!! Just the very idea!

iceberg lettuce, and a

You do have to get creative at times. Ordering a side
of natural/organic beef from a local rancher gets the
cost down.

And there is also the "catch it or grow it yourself"
thing too. I am not above mooching off my hunter
friends/customers. Elk and moose are delicious.
Venison: EEEEEYUK. You can get 800 lbs of meat off
one moose. A customer of mine bagged one a few years
back and had too much to handle. Well his computer
needed fixing and I came away with a cooler full of
moose. Life is good!

Raley's sells a grass fed beef, but it obviously in not
hung (tough as hell), not very appealing.

I was shocked at the several hundreds of dollars of
high carb garbage I had to give away when I first
got inducted into the pin cushion club. When all
settled down, my weekly food was pretty close to
what it was before -- maybe five to ten dollars more.

I have been eating a lot of purslane salads which grow
where ever I walk in my back yard. Free food! The
major expense when I am done making a salad is the
organic mayo and the cultured buttermilk in my
home make ranch dressing. Be surprised if I hit
5 grams of carbs and $2.00 per plate.

But you do have to get creative to keep the cost down.
And don't obsess on being a perfectionist. And remember
that variety is very important, but I think I am preaching
to the choir.

Have you heard about coffee fruit flour? It is the fruit
of the bean, virtually no caffeine, and low carb. Typically,
it gets fed to livestock.

You do realize that every time I talk to you, I get hungry.

The coop buys whole cows from a few different farmers. The coop decides how
to price each cut. Different farmers vary the amount of fat in the ground
beef. The fattiest one is $6.23/lb.

No hanging.

I really would like to get some turkey and duck eggs.

You can get mail order completely pastured turkey from Slankers:
http://www.texasgrassfedbeef.com/

I believe my coop has duck eggs. I should try them?

Would
love to try some heritage pork too

I do list a couple places on http://paleofoodmall.com/

Slankers has had feral pork in the past. They haven't had any in a while.

1/3 lb of wild Java Crab ($6.74)

That is $20.22 / lb. Yikes! What is a "Java crab" anyway?
A nervous crab?

It keeps creeping up in price. Not long ago it was $18/lb can. Must be kept
refrigerated. Java is the country where it is wild caught. It tastes a lot
like lobster. It is distributed by a local company. It does not appear on
the web.

I think for the next batch (I buy for three meals at a time), I will use
Wild Planet Foods' Wild Albacore Tuna No Salt for variety.

I do not use salt at all in my cooking. I can now taste the salt in meat. I
can no longer eat smoked fish. It is horribly salty. The salt lingers and I
want to rinse out my mouth. Our ancestors did not have salt shakers.

There is ample salt in meat and seafood. We all know that vegans have to
supplement their diet with B-12. What people also don't realize is vegans
have to supplement with salt. Since salt is so ubiquitous in modern
cooking, we don't think of it as supplementing, but a vegan cannot toss the
salt shaker.

I have been eating a lot of purslane salads which grow
where ever I walk in my back yard. Free food!

There usually is lots of wood sorrel growing around here.

The
major expense when I am done making a salad is the
organic mayo

You can make homemade mayo with olive oil.

But you do have to get creative to keep the cost down.

I don't worry about keeping costs down.

And don't obsess on being a perfectionist. And remember
that variety is very important, but I think I am preaching
to the choir.

Variety is important. I don't practice this as much as I should. Most
people eat only a few different meats. Our ancestors ate whatever they
could catch or trap. It would have been a great variety of animals. And
they foraged for hundreds of different plants.

I have mail ordered conch, turtle meat and frozen baby clams from Wholey. I
wanted to buy the alligator meat, but the alligators are fed grains.

Have you heard about coffee fruit flour? It is the fruit
of the bean, virtually no caffeine, and low carb. Typically,
it gets fed to livestock.

http://www.theatlantic.com/technolog...an-eat/360149/

No, I have not. It could be interesting. First, coffee is not a "bean."
Coffee is the seed of a fruit. Fruit seeds are not supposed to be digested.
They evolved to pass through an animal's digestive track and still be
viable at the other end. Fruit seeds should never be human food. (And this
includes cocoa.)

Berries have thorns to keep animals away. Animals would digest the seeds.
Berry bushes want their berries to be eaten by birds, which don't digest
the seeds.

The coffee flour is simply ground fruit. There is a paleo argument that
fruit should limited. In the past fruit would have been seasonal (though
different fruits at different times of the year), and the fruits were much
less voluptuous and less sweet than they are these days.
