Best Posts in Thread: meat based diet anyone?

Can't help but notice how this thread has turned dark towards our local hosts..... just sayin

 

(a health crisis coming) This is already present at this moment in time, the average life span of the Filipino people is around 10yrs shorter than that of the western world, salt, sugar and the high proportion of white rice in their diet perhaps the main factor is causing this.

 

I'm on Keto diet over 2 years, (hope that counts). Helped me lose 20 kilos in 6 months also I had a mild fatty liver, not now also my bad
cholesterol was high, not any more. Blood sugar normal range. I could go on.

 

It's a sad fact that there are more and more fast food outlets opening up in Dumaguete. At least two more just on the northbound highway. How much more of this crap can the population eat?

This is another conundrum of Filipino society (like riding motorcycles as if they have a death wish). There's a big value put on living and they give thanks to every new day alive, but then if you question the diet, the response is 'Well, you only live once, so enjoy it'.

 

I would suggest Legumes and Nuts

 

My dedicated team of Ferrets before I left the UK to come to the Phils. Great workers, great to play with and a great supplier of fresh Rabbit for the table.

In my small town in Scotland which has around 50K of people we used to have many Butchers in the town perhaps as many as into the high teens of which most of them died very young before the age of 65yrs, the only one that did reach his 3 score and ten was a little skinny guy which is most unusual for a Butcher.

Meat prices are quite high in PH being about the same as that in UK with the exception of well hung beef, the supermarkets make claims that some of the cuts they sell have been hung for 30 days, but a plain minced beef can be had cheaper than in PH.

White meat is perhaps the best way to go and the very best of that is Rabbit Meat for nutrition and the cheapest to produce as long as they are not fed wholly on commercial feed, the old saying breeding like Rabbits is not strictly true when you cage them, but keeping them in a free range social system (Colony Breeding) gives great results, there are loads on information available from others in the PH that are doing this, check out Dexter's World.

I have a small set up at the house in Valencia where the Rabbits run free range, they are quite entertaining to observe much more than Fish in a Tank, fish never look all that happy and never smile?
