Couple questions re RFD

[MaximilianKohler]

Where do you(if you're not eating raw dairy) or even carnivores get their calcium from? Doesn't meat not have a lot of calcium? or is it all just destroyed when you cook meat? or is it in the liver or other organ meats?

Where do you get your fats from if you're not eating raw dairy? Because grass-fed meat has much less fat then commercial meat. Do you just get fat from avocados and coconuts? Anyone know of a place to buy raw coconut cream in the USA? I'm guessing it'd be a lot more expensive then just coconuts... I found some coconut drinks but I called the manufacturer and they've all been pasteurized.

Does anyone know if there is a way to tell if the goats milk I'm getting is really raw? I'm buying it from someone at a farmer's market for $6 a gallon and she puts it in an empty plastic store bought 1gal water bottle. I just want to verify she's not just pouring regular milk in there and selling it for more x_x
I expected it to taste a lot different but I can't really tell as far as taste goes. Goats milk also doesn't naturally separate like cow's milk right? So I can't tell that way either :/

Also, about the moldy berries in Aajonus's first book - I've had blueberries in a lose lid glass jar at room temp for almost a month now probably and they're just stinking and rotting but not really getting moldy...

Thanks ^_^

The calcium myth is bogus. It's since been learnt that other substances are also needed such as phosphorus, vitamin D, magnesium etc. Indeed, it's been pointed out that excessive intake of calcium in the diet(such as via dairy-consumption) can lead to magnesium-deficiency(you see, we are naturally meant to absorb calcium:magnesium in a 1:1 ratio like in the palaeolithic, so dairy with its 7:1 to 12:1 calcium:magnesium ratio can lead to magnesium-intake being blocked as a result, thus leading to magnesium-deficiency.

There's also various studies online re Bantu women having great bones despite being on a very low-calcium(and dairy-free diet):-

There's also various studies linking a too high consumption of cacium(via dairy) to higher rates of osteoporosis. My own experience showed that my teeth deteriorate badly with dairy-consumption, however raw.

As for raw fats, I get them either from eating fatty raw muscle-meats like raw mutton etc. etc.(most ruminants are quite fatty enough - it's only if you are raw, zero-carb when you have to be ultra-careful to ensure very high levels of fat-intake). I also eat plenty of raw marrow and raw tongue which are extremely fatty. I avoid raw plant fats except for the very occasional avocado(coconut oil is deadly to my system).

I don't think you have to be 'extra careful' if you're Carnivorous.. If you need more fat then you will desire it...

TylerDurden do you eat anything besides meat and occasional avocado? What's your daily diet like?

That's frightfully complicated. I eat mostly raw wild game(wild hare carcasses, scallops, mussels, oysters, venison, swordfish etc.), because I have lucky access to certain sources. Otherwise, I'll eat raw 100% grassfed/organic meats/organ-meats. I also eat a sizeable amount of raw fruits, some of which are organic or semi-organic, such as blueberries/bananas/avocadoes/watermelons etc. etc.. I only  occasionally eat raw vegetables or raw honey(eg:- raw radishes/samphire/carrots/lettuce-leaves or raw heather honeycomb).
