how much meat do you eat?
i figure as a household my family of 4 eats about 120 lbs. of meat a year. that is 30 lbs. per person (although the bean maybe does not count as a whole consumer). After reading this article it is motivating me to purchase more local meat. i have thought about it but when budgeting i do "cut corners" and buy the cheaper product. trader joes 80% 20% ground beef and the cheaper ground turkey (i love ground turkey).
i think that the amount of meat we consume is reasonable. i get very creative with meals - butternut, rice, onion, garlic and kidney bean enchiladas with cumin and chili powder with a side of avocado with red onion and lemon. the monkey loved it.
i was looking into the raw diet a few days ago. i dont think i could ever go raw- i love cheese too much. but i do like the idea of eating raw more. it is an interesting idea. one thing i did find on most of the raw sites was the interest in poop as the detox effects of the raw diet kick in. very interesting photos. i liked the recipes on this site www.goneraw.com
i like food. i like good food. i like meat. i like cheese. we can eat more sustainable for the environment - we can make that investment. but raw is just not our thing nor is being vege. the fact is we are all going to die someday and i am going out eating bacon and stilton.
ohhhhh... bacon and stilton chocolate chip cookies???? there is an experiment for you.

i'm so hungry now!
Yes on the enchiladas, no on the cookie experiment! :)
I made a point to visit a raw food restaurant when I went to New York a few years ago. I was intrigued. The food was okay, but the waitstaff were totally ditzy. They didn't even serve ice there, apparently it messes with a food's enzymes. But the people were so spaced out that they didn't make a good case for the benefits of the food they were serving at all.
when i was a veg. in high school my greatest little secret treat was bacon.... i was meant to eat meat :)
