If you want to try the butter in your coffee thing and can’t find kerrygold or another unsalted pastured butter just look for any european style unsalted butter. Presidente is one brand that comes to mind. European butter is higher in fat and still tastes awesome even if it might not be as healthy as butter from pastured cows. > > Either is still way better than margarin. I can’t believe people still eat that chemical nonsense. Obviously it’s not as good as the pasteurized stuff, but how does the regular store brand salted butter stack up? It’s all I have to use to cook my eggs in the morning, planning on getting the better stuff when I can find it. ---

Not bad. I’d still say it’s healthful. If you figure that everything you eat either makes you more healthy or less healthy, I’d say that normal butter is probably on the more healthy side. ---

there is a pastured one in the hippie coolers, “lightly salted” (i think it was 40 mg of sodium). I cant remember the brand name. I gave it a shot, and it works. I’ll try the kerrygold once its in. ---

I think I’ll stop by the store and pick up a BFS on the way home. (Big Fucking Steak.) Grain fed but oh well. Some fish oil will help the omega 3/6 ratio and I’ll choose a lean cut to keep the total omega 6’s down. Maybe a big wad of greens too. They cook down to nothing when you saute them.

I’ll check Wegmans in the Falls. Falls people don’t buy that fancy shit, there should be some left for me. But yeah grass fed meat from Wegmans is ass expensive. Makes sense. They ship it here from fucking Uruguay. Such fucking nonsense. Grass fed meat is cheaper to raise than grainfed by a long margin. You just let the cows walk around. That’s it. They feed themselves, and shit their own fertilizer. In most countries feeding animals grain is prohibitively expensive so it’s not an option, but here we have so many nonsense corn subisidies that our taxes mask the cost of feeding animals grain so it works out cheaper for the consumer to eat the more expensive meat from a sick animal that was fattened from calf to slaughter in like 8 months. Such an immoral and innefficient system, but someone convinced congress that spending tax money protecting midwestern mega-farmers from drops in crop markets by fixing the prices would be beneficial. Now we’ve got farmers that have no option but to grow bigger to try to profit, sick animals that feed sick people, and an FDA that pushes a diet that’s aimed at economic health instead of human health because somebody’s got to eat all this fucking corn. We’ve got a system set up to make so much of this fucking shit that we’re turning food into fuel because we’ve got nothing else to do with it all. /rant ---

Not too much to ad here. Personal details, etc… Until very recently, I have eaten whatever I wanted whenever I wanted and most of it was not very healthy. Growing up my parents put together decently well balanced meals but there was no conscious effort made to avoid processed food, let alone grainfed meat. Occasionally we would have an all fruit lunch or something of the sort, but for the most part no shits were given. I have never been over weight, ever. On average I have weighed between 140-145 through the past 5 years. The most I have ever weighed is just under 150, my current weight @ age 23. I worked out fairly consistently for the last few years of high school and did so also in college when I had time. Currently I work out 3-5 times a week and am generally very active otherwise. I have never seen a need to diet, or change the way I was eating until recently. Going to school, and being at school 12+ hrs daily really limited my choices for meals. Mostly I was eating pizza, fatty burritos, Tim Hortons etc. Occasionally I would get sushi, a smoothie or a big salad but the cost of those two groups were completely opposite. So naturally it was much easier to buy the cheap unhealthy stuff. Out of school now and living on my own I find that it really isn’t any harder to eat healthy, to an extent. I still will eat out, maybe 2 meals a week, but I try to incorporate more salad, fruits, vegatables, whole grains and other ‘natural’ foods into my diet. I am on no strict regiment, I haven’t really excluded anything from my diet but I make an effort to be more balanced in my eating. I still take in as many calories as I can, drink a lot of fruit juice and eat a fair amount of carb loaded pasta. With this diet, I feel well daily and DO notice a difference if I was to load up on veggies for a few days and not eat out. It definitely makes me feel ‘better’. Side note: I feel that with a decent diet, sufficient sleep and regular exercise one should have no problem being healthier than most in this country and feel alert and sharp. Upon no reasoning but my own I believe that one can be just as healthy by doing the three things I mentioned above, as someone who is on an insanely strict highly nutritious diet. That IS an ignorant statement, but its pretty much the conclusion I have come to during the short time I have been alive… ---
