We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Oprah would be hard-pressed to chase much down LOL.
Hunting is a tiring thing, by my experience. My step-dad always had us hiking into the mountains...no vehicles.
City Hunter/Gatherers will be knocking at your door either with a mob or firearms, demanding your canned goods. That's what the Scatter-gun is for!
Many medicines are derived from plants--with a little change here, and there. Vegetation must always be washed prior to eating.

I remember when those first came out; it always felt like I was chomping on little stones.

Yes, like aspirin is derived from willow bark, and valium from valerian root. There is also medicine made from animal components, such as anti-venom. The issue I have with most "modern" medicine today is the synthetics introduced for cost and quality control. Not necessarily because those things are bad; I just question the safety and effectiveness of anything created in a lab. It's just a personal concern, and YMMV.
yes it should; however I'm referring to plants that have soaked up pesticides into their structure that cannot be washed off. Just better to be safe then sorry.

....I....uh, happen to like Grape Nuts. Especially when it is Grape Nuts or cattails. But that is just me I guess.

Id hardly call that "taking me to school". Especially since I was clear when I said in my post that we adapted/evolved to eat meat.
Again, the human mouth, jaw and teeth are that of a vegetarian based mammal. The GI and digestive tract is that of an Omnivore.

Don't get me wrong, I love eating meat from time to time.

I've always wanted to try foods like raccoon, snake, alligator, ostrich, and yes, even horse. The most "bizarre" thing I ever ate was kangaroo stew, and I'm not 100% sure it actually was kangaroo.

Skip the raccoon unless there is nothing else....greezy....nasty....critter. Everything else other than horse tastes like chicken anyway.
Sounds like the words of someone who either has no access to even a mediocre cook or has never tried wild game.
Raccoon is very tasty when prepared well and has a flavor and texture reminiscent of beef roast. Alligator, I've not had prepared well so all I can say about it is Florida lacks a bit in Alligator preparation. Opossum has a stringy texture and its difficult to get all the gamey taste out. After some experimentation I decided Opossum is too much work to make pallet able and is better as buzzard food.

Ive eaten alligator, horse and snake.
Alligator was okay. It was a lot like extra chewy chicken. And horse wasnt bad at all. I ate that when I was in north eastern china.

I am a weekend carnivore. The wife and I eat whole foods and vegan restaurant meals during the week. This and exercise has really helped me to maintain my normal BMI and keeps my lab work normal. Most of my genetic relatives are high BMI, heart disease, low HDL, High triglycerides, etc... The American diet and all the high fructose corn syrup in everything is killing us. I saw high fructose corn syrup in a can of tomatoes the other day!!!! It's crazy! The government does not have your best interests in mind with the food regulators being in bed with the processed food industry.
When I went into health care 20 years ago, an obese patient was around 250-350lbs. Now it's common that we turn away almost everyday a 450lb+ patient! We have to because our procedure table will snap off at this weight. It's getting worse each day.
I do believe I'm the only one carrying a gun in the vegan places though.:dude:

Speaking of high fructose corn syrup...that was part of the evil plot last night in a show called Supernatural
It gave me chills that it our government = leviathans.

I like eating meat, but I mostly don't on account of the way farms raise meat animals in the USA. I will not eat an animal that didn't eat it's natural diet. We are what we eat, and so are animals. I don't want to be corn, stale candy, antibiotics and other junk that a cow ate. So most days I end up eating no meat, even though 2 or 3 times daily would be fine with me.
I am however very into raw fruit and vegetables.
