I just want to confirm things is all. I’ve not eaten any meat, besides beef and lamb, raw. After years of being told that meat such as pork and chicken must be fully cooked, I’m sure you can understand why someone wants to be certain of what they’re doing. I’m very busy and can’t spend tons of time digging for reliable information, so I came here because the reputations of some posters precedes them.

I appreciate your insight.

I have a question. When it comes to aged meats, are they usually safe to eat raw? I found a great butcher who carries grass-fed meat, but all of the beef is aged a minimum of 20-30 days. I did eat some raw to test and it didn’t bother me, so...

What’s the consensus on this?

I was under the impression that only iodized salt was poison. I use sea/rock salt and haven't noticed any ill effects. In fact, I don't function well enough without it.

Hello, everyone.

I don't have much of a grasp of "paleo dieting", so I guess I am here to learn. Some things I do are inherintely " raw paleo", such as eating foraged plants and raw meat. I have been hesitant to go full on because of what I do (farming), and because I've heard of people having energy problems. I burn 2000-4000 calories a day, so I need to eat a lot. I use carb-rich foods (sourdough, small beer, rye kvass, etc.) to fill in the holes. I feel tired if I don't do that.

Anyways, I'd appreciate some advice. Maybe I should make a thread for that...?
