I think ...Natto isn't sold around here, either. I think Dr. Axe is more of a paleo persuasion and these guys find dairy suspicious, but then you need to eat quite a bit of cheese to substitute for meat, and cheese is rather fat, so eating it every day in these amounts is probably not a good idea. (I love cheese, btw).<br /><br />Humans are omnivores so could survive on most anything, I guess!<br /><br />Farm animals are treated more or less decent out here, especially cows since by law they have to spend at least 6 hours a day 6 months of a year outside, eating grass. Non-organic pigs are treated the worst, and chicken raised specially for meat. The standard for eggs is higher, as cage eggs were forbidden long ago.<br /><br />I try to buy everything biological anyway, but it's oh-so-expensive, especially chicken, so I'm going for the discount quite often.<br /><br />As for eggs, I've noticed that biological eggs of free range hens taste much better. I don't think eggs are really unhealthy, it's more how many of them you eat and your general diet.<br />Sannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124283361844607678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-71625000546177880892021-11-27T06:02:30.667-08:002021-11-27T06:02:30.667-08:00I've never heard of natto, so I guess I learne...I've never heard of natto, so I guess I learned something today.<br /><br />I don't really buy in to the eggs and cheese are bad. I do think organic eggs are better in nutrients than purely industrial grain fed eggs. Years ago, a neighbor would give us some of his fresh chicken and guinea eggs. I still remember the deep orange yolks of these eggs. <br /><br />I would still like to know why Lewis and Clark did not die of ketosis on their journey there and back across the continent. <br /><br />On the other hand, it is the shame the way animals are treated in industrial farming at times. I don't know of any farmers or ranchers that don't have empathy for animals. My grandparents had a large chicken coup because they liked the fresh eggs.A Texannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-64726253604386555582021-11-27T02:20:53.234-08:002021-11-27T02:20:53.234-08:00Hi Will!

I'm doing okay; hope you are, too! :)<br /><br />The best substitute for meat, is other meat. ;)<br /><br />I don't mind the occasional vegetarian meal; eggs, legumes / chick peas, beans, etc. can all be tasty.<br /><br />But I could never give up meat, and never will. :)Will S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02714519301979594160noreply@blogger.com
