For me personally I've gotten much more healing experiences from red meat. Just more satisfying, helps my training more too, and my body/mind feels more at peace.
But not only does red meat feel more healing, I like the taste of red meat more too, I almost despise the taste of pork (does not include wild boar), chicken, fish and other lighter meats sometimes. This is my experience with both cooked and raw meats. The thought of eating some chicken or fish sounds kind of disgusting sometimes actually haha But red meat sounds tasty everyday, especially meat from older animals. Which is probably why I love venison. I don't like veal meat much at all.
This is just based on my personal experience on meats that are unseasoned, both cooked and raw. Other people may be completely different. The taste of grain fed beef can be horrible too, depending on the extremes of which it was raised.
I'm not arguing taste. My favorite raw flesh food is probably fatty escolar (hawaiian butterfish), or fatty tuna. However, raw fat from healthy pigs is in a
very close second place (it's almost too close to call), and raw grassfed meat is a close 3rd. I can definitely see how someone could prefer meat to fish.
To CitrusHigh--If there are more important things to you than health and health research, then you shouldn't be focusing this much of your energy here. That's the whole point of this forum. Most of the mods here can get away with eating some cooked food from time to time without major health problems. In fact, most of the mods do, including me. That's not the point. The POINT is that you can either eat a
mostly-raw diet, with some cheating, and be satisfied with that...or you can keep researching. By definition, all the mods here are researchers. We are open to new truths. Of all the people we've banned (who aren't just link-spamming), there's not
one person who I would classify as a
researcher. You're not one either. You are sure of yourself, and you're preaching. That's what researchers
avoid.
Believe me, I have spent lots of time thinking and caring about sustainability. If I thought that we wouldn't all be eating vat-grown meat in 20 years, I'd worry too, almost as much as you do. However, my
research indicates to me that we probably will be. Meanwhile, I've still got some things about myself I'd like to improve, so I keep
researching. I'm also driven by simple intellectual curiosity as well.
You are not. You are a preacher. I appreciate your passion, and I like you as a person, but...the people who fit this forum
best are researchers with burning curiosity and a desire to know. Our minds are open. You, OTOH, seem like you want to preach.
There are better forums for that, you can probably find some sustainability forums, or whatever topic gets you fired up.
This isn't the only forum I post in. I'm into video gaming and IP connectivity topics, but I don't talk about those things here...nor do I talk about health on THOSE forums. It doesn't fit. Believe me, man, there are other forums.
My advice? Please do your preaching about sustainability on forums designed for discussions about sustainability.
And I'm not worried about running out of fish. If we do, I'll just eat more pigs and cows. They're tasty too. Even if we run out of fish, by the time it happens, research into soil quality and grass-feeding is going to be more widely understood and accepted...which means I'll be more likely to easily find animals raised on the highest-possible quality of food. Right now, that's hard.
Fish, OTOH, automatically have a complete and perfect diet, because the ocean is chock-full of minerals. Almost no soils are as mineral-rich as the ocean
always is. They can be
made mineral-rich, but I'm going to let everybody catch up with me on soil research, rather than exhausting myself trying to spread the truth about soil improvement, or starting my own farm. Starting your own farm is fucking hard work. I'm not going to fund it by myself, nor start it by myself, nor WORK it by myself.
If you'd like to get a bunch of people together with money and strong backs, feel free. I've got access to the best research available on how to feed soil, where to put the farm, etc.. I'm not going to bust my butt doing all that work, though. I'd have to simultaneously educate AND organize AND fund-raise. On the other hand, I can just let everybody catch up with me, and eat fish while they do.
