Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Beef., lamb? People now i know I am old. Old people line up for the Early Bird in Florida and what do they order? Fish. I hear very few fish stories around here except for how much mercury is in canned tuna. We worry about eating too much meat, too much red meat. One person who is not a vegetarian only uses it twice a week. Get hooked here. Fish. This takes about five minutes: Heat a skillet. Add a large or two medium cloves of minced garlic. Throw in five or six good sized scallops (another bargain at Costco) Squeeze a wedge of lemon over them. Sprinkle on a healthy shake of dried basil. Turn the scallops as they will brown rapidly. Don't overcook. At the last minute toss in a tablespoon of grated italian Parmesan and keep stirring. If you keep kosher, do this with chunks of a nice white fish. Carol F.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 thankyou for all the great info. Its really makes sense Gertrude Snicklegrove hunterdrake2001@...> wrote: I don't know why, but my post did not show up in email. Here goes again:) Summer I buy most of my pasture fed meat from local farms or through my co-op. Cows have not developed stomachs able to digest grains well, and those fed grains, even with heavy vitamin/mineral supplementation, are unable to digest and assimilate all their nurtients....because they develop leaky gut. This also leads to bacteria overgrowth and additional toxins stored in tissue and muscle. Beef naturally has high amounts of omega 3, with a smaller omega 6 ratio. In the commercial meat industry, the opposite is true, the beef has negligent amounts of omega 3's and high amounts of omega 6, in addition to the toxin buildup. Pasture raised, organic meat tastes better, has a great flavor, and you will find that going back to grain fed meat, tastewise, is very hard. Beware some people who may pass of meat as pastured, when they are really only free range but being offered grains. Cows will forgo the pasture for grain treats, like my autistic son will forgo whole foods for taco bell. I always check out my food sources throughly, even if store bought. Milk and meat from 100% pastured animals are less likely to carry salmonella, ecoli and other subsequent infections that infect people, because like the principles of SCD, they have healthy gut and healthy gut flora! If you live in my state of Washington, I can hook you up with 1/4 pasture, organic well cared for cow that is being raised for me and some friends, $2 a pound. It will be ready this october/november. Also, if you live in the co-oping area for my co-op www.azurestandard.com, which delivers for free at drop points all along northern california, oregon, washington, alasks, parts of idaho and montana, you can get the famous pastured Piedmontese beef, an old breed of cattle from Italy that, according to the USDA study, shows the highest CLA present. Polyunsaturated fat, like in healthy cattle, carry the essential fatty acids that our bodies can not produce. In fact, cholesterol lebels of Piedmontese are less than that of store bought beef. Pastured animals are also less likely to have high levels of cadmium and arsenic in their bodies, with the exception of land areas being treated with chemical fertilizers. Feeds, if not organic, often are supplemented with cadmium, as it puts weight on cattle, and there are those that extropolate, since cadmium, a heavy metal toxin, is hard pressed to leave the body, it is a fattening element for humans. These are just barely scraping a few reasons why pastured animals can be healthier and part of a healing diet and/or a healthy diet. I know quite a few of my fellow members on the SCD websites only eat pastured meat. One last note, free range animals tend to get copious amounts of natural sunlight, leading to the formation of strong bones and healthy organs, which translates into healthy meats. Not only are the hormones fed to animals under suspicion as endocrine disruptors, but the hormones produced by not so healthy animals tend to build up, especially with taxed liver capability and leaky gut. The organs have to work too hard. Natural sunlight, fresh air and exercise are needed for the animals immune system and other organ systems to function healthily, thus reducing metabolic waste generated by the animal. A person who receives no natural sunlight, exercise, or fresh air, can eat the most healing diet available, and still struggle with sickness. It is not healthy.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 I live in Washington state, and buy fresh meat from two local farms. I also buy pastured meat from my local co-op www.azurestandard.com. They have drop points in Northern California, oregon, washington, parts of Alaska, Hawaii, and part of Montana and Idaho. If you live in Portland/Vancouver area I get fresh produce from local farms and weekly I get a food box from www.organicstoyou.org. If you do not live in the above areas, you can look for the " Community Supported Agriculture " site on google, and there are links to find out what farms with phone numbers are in your area. Someone mentioned in a post on thsi subject, that calling your local extension office, you can get these same details too. Another bonus to finding pastured local meat, you'll be possibly finding resources for farm fresh eggs, milk, cheese, and other products. Little farmers are quite willing to work with you if you have specifications with diet, so please do not hesitate to ask questions. Farmers know each other, so if you can't find something from someone, ask the person you are talking to if they know of someone. And if you haven't tried one, a fresh egg has incredible flavor!
