Ok I'll start letting it sit out before eating from now on.  Yea I only get the turkey jerkey because that store doesn't seem to have beef jerkey, but if i start buying from grasslandbeef.com, they have beef jerkey so I will get some of that for when Im on the run and can't carry a raw sirloin around with me, lol/.

1. Tyler is right. Grassfed is much more important than organic. "Organic" animals are often fed bad stuff. The term "vegetarian feed" is often bad, not good as there is no truly "vegetarian" animal in the wild and it frequently means feeding animals grains, soy products and sugars that are not part of their biologically appropriate diets. "Vegetarian" is a modern human term derived from the Latin word "vegetus" that is not based on the natural diet of any wild animal (http://www.ivu.org/congress/wvc57/souvenir/hough.html). When it comes to red meats look for the term "100% grassfed" ("pasture fed" would be more accurate) and learn what you can about the farm that produces it.
2.  Yes, though eating animal fats and organs helps keep the bill down
3. Yes, it stays completely away as long as I avoid all carbs. Eating even small amounts of carb foods, even raw fruit, brings back small outbreaks, but I have been recently eating some fruits again about once a week and living with the zit or two that results. I'm not certain whether I'll continue that or not.
4. Would your parents accept jerky and other dried meats, raw eggs, sashimi, steak tartare, and/or eating raw meats in your room where they don't have to see it?
Is jerkey better than cooked meat?  My health food store sells organic turkey jerkey that is very tasty.  I usually get a couple packs of it every time I didn't know it was any better for you than cooked meat.

1. Yes grass fed organic is much more superior than just organic.
2. Yes the grocery bill shot up a little but if done right it does not have to be terrible.
3. Yes acne went away and didn't show up until i went back to a sad diet.
4. I have the same problem they still hate the idea of it. I would just say you've been doing it for a while and it hasn't hurt you yet.
Eat warm meat first its much easier to handle. And if you have mental  problems with eating raw meat start with raw eggs.
By warm meat, do you just mean take it out of ther fridge and let it reach room temperature before I consume it?

Thanks for all the advice guys.  I've decided to start right away that away when I move back home I can truthfully tell my parents I have been doing if for a couple months and I am fine.  I have just recently gotten them to accept my eating raw eggs, so hopefully the meat won't be too hard for them to take.  Would you recommend I slowly work my into raw, as in cooking my meat less and less until I am eventually eating raw, or just jumping straight into it?  Also, what would you recommend as a starting out diet, like next time I go to the store what would you suggest my shopping list be made up of?  For grass fed animals, the few times I have gotten them I purchased them online at grasslandbeef.com.  It comes shipped to your door packed frozen in dry ice and usually comes the next day.  In Tallahassee, where I go to school, I have yet to find a store that sells grass fed so I just use the site, but there is a Whole foods back home so does anyone know if they sell grass fed there?

Hey guys, I am brand new to the world of paleo.  The main reason I am deciding to try it is to see if it helps with my acne at all, but am interested in the many other benefits as well.  I have a few questions though. 
1.  Those that eat raw meat, organic grass fed is good right?  I usually just eat regular organic because grass fed is pretty expensive but if I was eating raw I guess I would just spend more for the grass fed.
2.  When you switched to raw paleo, did your grocery bill go up?
3.  Has anyone that had a problem with acne noticed any clearing when switching to this diet?
4.  Right now I am away at college so it doesn't matter, but after this semester I am moving back home and have no idea how I'm going to convince my parents that eating raw meat is not going to kill me.  Any suggestions?
Any advice for a newcomer would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!
