A common question on "paleo" diet blogs is how to get grass fed beef with enough fat.
A good source of fatty ground beef is US Wellness Meats. You can get 75-25 ground beef in bulk, 25lbs, and you get a small discount. It's the tastiest meat I have found. And since it comes frozen neatly in nice little packages, it lasts a long time and is very convenient. They also have tallow and lard and butter. I cook my meat (I like it raw too) in tallow and then if some of the fat is still left over in the plate or bowl I just go ahead and drink it down. It seems gross at first but you get used to it and will come to like it. Frozen tallow chips are good, too.
It is also possible, but less easy, to find raw fat. Ranchers often won't sell it to you but look around and you might find a nice rancher to sell you the fat. And since they usually freeze their meats, you can might get a good amount of fat, frozen, and so it will last a long time.
Kudos on the all meat/fat diet. I've been Paleo-ish, eating mostly meat with some vegetables/nuts/fruit since discovering it. My biggest problem with maintaining it is stress (which is frequent given my anathema to the morality of altruism and anti-reason that dominates the culture)--in such cases I find myself resorting to peanut butter/ice cream/crackers and grains of any kind. And then I feel gross immediately afterwords and the next day :(
ReplyDeletePlus it's sort of difficult to find decent tasting meat, like a pork chop or cheap steak, on the go. Of course in a free society dominated by reason, meat and fat would rein supreme and there would be cheap high quality meat via fast food places--$8 broiled Porterhouse steak on the go?
I think I had a point to make but by now I've forgotten it so I'll leave my comment at that. In summary, it's interesting to read about an all meat/fat diet.
