@fknretardlol@Myshkin@Omega_Variant@madison I do; but yeah while I could technically afford all the necessary supplementation to keep a healthy vegan diet for years, it would quickly come at the cost of Christmas presents for the kids. Not worth it.
@madison@fknretardlol@Myshkin@Omega_Variant There was a time, toward the very peak of our civilization, when such a diet was within reach. After 2008 or so, nope. Not at my income level.
I was vegan/vegetarian from the age of 10-21. My health drastically improved once I started eating meat & whole foods. So much cheap vegan food is filled with nonsense.
reading half this stuff will go a long ways to filling you with hatred .. fkn jews have been killing us off however , tempted to get a cholesterol test
Ive been reading and hearing a lot about this over the last few years. My HDL is always high, quite high, while my VLDL is very low. I really hope these new studies are right because it will be a game changer for people’s health. They are pushing hard to make this go away
Here’s the pancetta I made this morning. I cut the whole pork belly in half, trimmed them, then salted them. Now they go into the basement for ten days, covered with cheese cloth, on a rack.
I could get that number down to $400 with more information, but again, it's a tradeoff - you're exchanging effort and time for money.
Example: I spent $11 on a 5-lb pork belly this weekend. This morning I cleaned that up and started the curing process. I will get 4.5lbs of pancetta from that, in a month. At current prices of $14/lb or more, that's roughly $63 worth of pancetta.
Curing: 4% salt by weight of meat, plus a little black pepper and brown sugar and a negligible amount of other spices, and somewhere cool to hang meat (fridges work) for a few weeks.
I'll bet I can show you how to do it. Wifey and I eat whatever we want, and spend about $150/week on groceries, max. I mean we eat steak, lamb, you name it.
The tradeoff is effort on your part. That's the catch. But, I can show you how to at least improve your food.
