I'd like to make a blanket out of the loose skin that's hanging from the neck.

And this is another reason why I fish or hunt what I eat!

I've seen a short documentary on meat glue and once it's done there's no real way of knowing if the product you have contains it, basically they take the scraps and mold them into the shape of a quality cut and sell it as such. That probably being the lesser of your concerns when you realize how unhealthy the chemicals are that are used to do so.

kfc uses fake chickens some kind of anomaly that they engineered that taste like a chicken but doesn't contain those pesty bones.

Ive always thought the whole "you need meat to be strong" thing was bullshit. In my experience it doesn't matter too much what source my protein is from as long as I'm getting enough. My strength always goes up or down in relation to how many calories I'm eating.

Yeah, I forgot beans too. lol I find the calories matter more as you said. I can't be bothered with all that meat and just eat my pasta and beans or have a can of fish like salmon and tuna. I don't miss it at all. Meat is such a hassle to cook, buy and prepare. plus I don't really even like it. I only ate it because it was put into my head.

dude the cooking and prep part sucks!! I used to buy a 5 pound pack of chicken breast or thighs and after cooking id find myself spending more time cleaning. Then 3 days later if reach into the fridge and pull out another Tupperware of chicken and think about how much i hate chicken haha. I still eat a little but i much prefer eggs and recently I've been eating black beans with a little rice. Not the tastiest thing but not the worst either and prep is much easier.

Buying prepacked ground beef is such a crap shoot (pun intended). Watching this vid makes me remember a couple times I bought some filets and thought they seemed to have too many fat lines that didn't seem right and they didn't cook right. I knew something was odd but now I know. This was from a big grocery chain. Fucking crooks. Makes you realize that when a store charges $19.99 a pound for high quality meat then all of a sudden has a $5.99 sale you know something is not right.

Yeah, the times in my life when I made some of the best gains was when I was dirt poor!!! I never ate beef, chicken, foul or red meat. I would buy bags of soy nuts, cases of tuna when it was on sale for 50 cents. I would stock up on mackerel and salmon in the can. I ate beans and veg. I had no choice but made better gains and could focus more on training with all the time I saved. So much more convenient

Eggs are so cheap and there's so much in the whole egg. I don't believe eggs are bad for you. I would rather eat eggs than meat these days. Like I said... I made the best gains when I could not afford meat! Just propaganda from magazines with Jay cutler articles talking about eating 12 lbs of meat a day. lol Ronnie also... with those lame azz articles and we say "we gotta be like Ronnie and Jay and Eat all that meat too. lol

true...it took me years to realize that since I wasn't on drugs and didn't weigh 300 lbs i only needed a fraction of the amount of food those guys ate! I was really brainwashed back in the day. I ate every 2-3 hours and freaked out if i missed a meal or didn't have at least 30 grams of protein with each meal.
