Seems like most of the steak I get is composed of nothing but inedible cartilage tissue what specific cuts of steaks do you buy raw that you find are easy to chew and swallow?
Thanks.
It is only cage-free. Well, hopefully I don't get sick from it. We will see.
Eating raw chicken...Anyone care to share their experience with eating raw chicken? Is it safe?
Ok, maybe boring question, but I've been away and people change, and I'm looking for ideas!
What are you eating, when, and how many meals?
Story of my raw paleo life
Yes, you are right. Although I'm not aware of any parasites that effectively transfer from chicken to humans. And in any case, I'm not afraid of parasites. Parasites are good, our bodies evolved/were designed to function symbiotically with them. But even if this wasn't the case, and even if there were dangerous parasites in chicken and other meats, I think you give up too much in nutrition by freezing them, to be worth eliminating parasites (and not all parasites are eliminated through freezing)
Regarding parasites, consider this: http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2012-08-24/lifestyle/sns-rt-us-usa-health-parasitesbre87n0uw-20120824_1_rheumatoid-arthritis-pig-whipworm-autoimmune-disease-drugs
Be warned that I found that one source was much better than others. They label the tuna "sushi grade," which I was skeptical of at first but proved to be the best. Pricey though, unfortunately. A couple of Asian restaurants I've tried also have good tuna and other fish sashimi, but I can't afford restaurant sashimi that often.
Just one tip:- do not buy these 2 fish:-

They can cause anal leakage, something I personally discovered to my shame.
Yellowfin (ahi) tuna is my fave of the limited selection available in my area, then king salmon.

Legs are the best muscle part of the chicken. The skin, cartilage, spongy bone and marrow are also wonderful. But even if you only want the lean muscle, the leg and thigh are by far the best. I only eat chicken breast for health benefits (eating the whole animal is better, as sabertooth says), but I don't enjoy them. They're too bland. The legs and thighs and wings, I could eat all day.
I also don't eat frozen meats.
They are closer to the bone which is said to increase mineral content of the meat and so the meat is darker and tastier IMO. They are fattier, so not tougher. I just get what is available, the thighs tend to be cheaper bc everyone wants the leaner breast meat. But the farmer I trust tends to bring more breast meat to the market so that's what I have available.
Orange roughy is amazing.
If you buy chicken legs, don't waste anything and eat the bone and marrow with it!
I got inspired by my dog who eats the whole leg when she gets one, and come to think of it it's all benefits:
-calcium and stuff from the crushed bone and marrow
-strengthens your jaw
-less waste (even if I have not managed to eat the denser ends of the bones yet).
I usually eat the breast too, but sometimes eat the thighs. The meat is darker.
I would only eat truly free-range chicken raw. Legs can be pretty tough on a free-range bird, especially roosters and older birds in general.
