Seems pretty quiet around here, i ate a whole chicken leg quarter bone raw with the rest of the cut yesterday and it made me think of this place. I am getting great regenerative pasture raised chickens from a local farmer, havent eaten chicken much until more recently.
I have attempted to crunch raw chicken bones with my teeth before and it always seemed like they were too hard but this time it just happened i went to crunch the end and it was not too much effort so i kept going and pretty much ate the whole thing. It felt really nice when i did i yesterday but today it has felt like im still digesting it all day i can feel it in my stomach so i will likely go easy on the quantity. The chicken skin/meat is awesome but i think my stomach needs to work up to the bones.
It seems like a good food to include though i would think may be unnecessary to eat every day, i have struggled with sourcing since moving to a new town and have been eating mostly raw beef muscle and pasteurized heavy cream/cream cheese. Obviously not optimal and i realized yesterday i felt very deeply hungry and need to pursue the consumption of more whole animals once more. More organs and sinew/cartilage and other parts. Hoping i can find good place to process local goats or sheep, goats seem readily available but no one seems to want me processing on their land.

Not that i think anyone is rushing to follow in my footsteps here, but i will say i have not been eating chicken bones in any regularity since this. Occasionally i do like to eat the ends off, i do love to eat the cartilage from between bones! But most bone has not been appealing listening to my stomach since this time, i think small bits are good but i dont know we are meant to be eating a ton of it the way a dog would.

It depends on how strong your teeth are. This is a double edged sword, biting on bones can damage your teeth, but the marrow and soft bone can heal them.
Ideally you would find a way to eat these without putting your teeth under major stress.
I think we should aim to utilize as much of the animal as possible. It's more ecological, it's more economical, and it's more healthy.
