Wow, maybe your body needed a lot of somthing that was in the chicken  raw chicken honestly grosses me out though, its the only raw meat that I won't really eat unless I really had to....don't worry you probably won't get any salmonella overload if you don't dwell on it too much, I have a feeling the more we worry the more chance something will make us sick....sometimes...

I didn't get sick. I don't know why I ate it. I wanted it, but it didn't taste good and the fatty parts made me gag a little, but I still wanted it. I wanted to eat the bones too, but that wasn't happening  Chicken in general grosses me out. The running joke my whole life has been "I don't derive pleasure from eating flightless birds." Which is true. The one and only time I've had serious illness from animal food was from some cooked chicken from a chain fast food joint. It was the first animal product I'd eaten in a few years. I got violently ill, I thought it was mainly due to the fact that I had been vegan, but every one of my roommates became ill too.
So now I very rarely eat birds other than quail- taste aversion conditioning is a mighty powerful thing. I may eat some livers tonight. I've been ruminating and craving them for long enough, I suppose it's time to act. I smelled some earlier and I salivated. I'll probably just swallow some whole and be done with it.

I ended up eating almost half a raw chicken last night. I don't know why I did that, I don't like chicken , cooked or not, and I'm crossing my fingers that I don't get sick. I was like a demon possessed and it just looked so good. I really hope I don't fall ill.

I generally tear meat off with my teeth and roll it around to taste it and then swallow. Not a lot of chewing. The only things I chew thoroughly are nuts. And pumpkin seeds.

It worked like a charm at the family get together today. It helps that a lot of my extended family members have resorted to gastric bypass, so no one really eats much.

I love grapes with seeds. It's so fun to collect a bunch in my cheeks and spit them out. It seems a lot of times though I accidentally buy the seedless kind and I get disappointed.
Dates are also fun because I like carrying the pits around in my mouth for a little while, rolling them around a bit before I spit them out. I like the texture on my gums and cheeks.

Iguana- that is a brilliant idea. Thank you!

I hope I posted this in the right section.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has any kind of experience or advice to offer. I always prefer lean muscle meat over any other kind of AF. I'm fully aware that humans need to consume fat, but most of the time I want nothing to do with it. It turns me off, sometimes makes me nauseated. Occasionally I'll take some tough fat/connective junk off of muscle meat and gnaw on it, just carry it around and suck and chew on it like gum- I just wont swallow solid pieces. I'm just wondering if anyone else has the same sort of aversion. Sometimes I'm afraid I'm not eating enough fat- normally I can tell because I'll start craving marrow and suet, but I don't know if I'm starving myself to trigger those cravings.
Thoughts?

I've always been curious about carnivorous land animals. I wonder what they would taste like, how they would make me feel. I've always had tremendous respect for predators, I don't know if that would turn me off if I had the opportunity to try one. Oh questions. Funny side note- I've always had an unnecessarily intense trichinosis phobia. I wouldn't handle pork products for years.

I occasionally will eat cooked food (mostly in family social situations), I'm actually paying for it this week. I mistook some pork ribs for beef ribs at a family holiday function a few days ago. I ate a few bites of the cooked pork and within 15 minutes became ill and have been vomiting regularly for a few days. Happens every time I eat pork. I can generally tolerate cooked beef okay. All I've been able to stomach since are some pumpkin seeds and beet. I just ate about 3 oz of some chopped up fatty beef, I'll see how that settles. I guess at the next family function, I'll just have to tell everyone I'm on a diet (we have a lot of compulsive dieters in my family), and maybe they'll leave me be.

I think that tonsils are supposed to shrink as we get older. I don't know if they vanish or not.

haha Sabertooth- I can agree somewhat. Sometimes I don't know what angle I want to approach a problem from. The inconsistency in my problem solving methodology is irritating sometimes, but I suppose it's nice to have a full arsenal.

I would give maybe a pinky finger to be able to eat bones. I like the marrow, but I always want to chew up the bone and swallow it too.

My brother in law just had his removed at age 31. He couldn't eat solid food for 2 weeks, and he was in an extreme amount of pain. I hope mine don't crap out on me.
