One time I ate a beef rib and got an artery. That made me so sick. Yet, I did not stop eating meat. I have seen a deer gutted in my front yard and it did make me sick, but I ate him. I saw how they treat chickens and blah blah blah, but I still eat MEAT. I must be some kind of psycho! Nope, just human. We need protein. I just have to lay off the cow. Although I will say that I am picky and will not eat fat, arteries, skin, or anything else that just isnt pure meat.

I'm hungry!
hungry
I totally agree. It is easy to be on the outside looking in, but when those babies are hungry, cold, dirty, ignored and the DCFS won't do anything because they are already short on foster homes, someone has to help. My husband's niece absoltely drives me nuts - lives with deadbeats who always beat her, get her pregnant, don't work, etc. She gets SSI and only gets enough to pay the rent. Gets Food Stamps and Medicaid. Can't get into government housing because she has been in prison herself for a felony. Baby #4 is coming by C-section on 12/18. Mimi here is taking a week's PTO to watch the others then. I can't stand to see them suffer because of parental ignorance. Sorry about the soapbox, but sometimes need to vent.
P.S. I signed Sarah, age 2-1/2, up for Mommy and Me tumbling classes. She and I went last night for the first time. She loved it - I nearly died from over exertion! Wouldn't trade them for the world, just wish they had better parents.
Ugh, which is why I don't eat meat or
questionable meat-by-products.
What is or was for dinner? I'm hungry & want to fix something
3 p.m. I am so Hungry! 3 more hours
and I start the prep...Rite Aid Oral Saline AKA Fleets PhosphO-Soda AT 6 p.m. Ugghh. My DH's time is near as well. Just as well, I am throwing up everything I try to eat as my GERD symptoms and esophageal stricture is acting up. Think I will just get in my jammies and jump in bed.
That's right!! When children are hungry (sm)
It doesn't matter who is right or wrong - it's not their fault. You can't just leave them like that. Believe me, I grew up starving. We did not get a lot of help because people were trying to teach my parents a lesson--guess what? They didn't learn and we suffered.
I like the way it feels when i'm hungry

but how does it change the meat?
By the way--cattle are slaughtered past the age of two. When old cull cows are made into hamburger, they add back fat from younger cattle because the fat on the older cows is yellow and people would not eat it. I also know that cattle eat things other than grass. We still graze cattle on grass land and manage our pastures well. (Western states also have public grazing land and some even graze the desert.)It is only cost effective to the cow-calf producers who do not feed grain. Slapping a grass-fed tag on beef and calling it a niche market makes it more expensive for the consumer and is controversial to me. Feed lots do not keep cattle off of grass land. We must keep in mind that this country must manage beef somehow because of how much we consume and export. Beef is a valuable commodity and a big business. If it could be handled in a way that was more cost effective, it would be.
Thank goodness I don't eat meat! ugh...

Got that right..AND not eating when you're NOT hungry! nm

Now you're making me hungry and I have not even
It's not being money hungry or crazy (sm)
Please realize that some people in this world are just plain mean. and sometimes we end up married to them! Believe me I have spoken up. I am not money hungry, but I also don't think it's fair to put my children in a position of being destitute and hungry. That makes for angry teenagers and problematic adults.
Well, he finally stopped when he became hungry enough. sm
But I read all of your responses and I thank you. Of course, now he's coming up to me all kinds of sweet and asking me for bananas, cookies, Goldfish crackers (his favorite).
Hey, at least he isn't eating pancakes...
I too refuse to go hungry or eat what I don't wnat...
Started exercising around Sept. Didn't see any measurable weight loss for about a month. I am so grossly overweight, though, that I can't exercise long. Used to be skinny. Wore a size 1 to 3 until developed thyroid condition, then packed on 50 lbs in just over a month that I never lost, but gradually added to over the years.
It does work, but it's much slower that if you diet, too. My measurable loss was 1/2 lb. I'm down about 1, but I feel much better, which is what counts.
I like to eat--doesn't matter if I'm hungry or not.
During high school, I lost about 30 pounds eating only 1 salad a day and Special K cereal for breakfast. I ran about 5 miles a day and was able to lose 30 pounds in 30 days. It was a complete turnaround for me. I gained self-esteem. I kept the weight off until I went to college.
Of course, in college, I started to revert to my old eating habits and didn't exercise much. I had settled to a comfortable 180 pounds (which wasn't bad for my height/build) when I got married. After the birth of my first child, I weighed in at about 220. When he turned 1, I tried some sort of diet pill (probably had ephedra in it) and lost down to 170. I felt wonderful. I kept that off until 3 years later when I had my second child. I lost some of the baby weight, but not all of it. Two years later, I had my third child. I weighed about 230 pounds and really wanted to lose. I tried Stacker with ephedra and lost like 40 pounds in 6 weeks. I felt wonderful. I kept that off for 2 years.
At that point, I started Effexor and the weight just slowly crept up on me. I won't blame it entirely on Effexor, but that seemed to be the start of it. Now, I'm up to 250 pounds - the most I think I've ever weighed and I would kill to see 200 pounds again. I've been contemplating a few weight loss options and can't seem to decide on one. I've tried most of the ephedra products, phenteramine prescribed by my doc, Nutri-System (but only for 2 weeks - the food was yuck!).
I'm seriously considering WW but would like to have an appetite suppressant to help me out initially. I know from past experience that diet pills only work for so long, but I really think that if I could just get in the groove, I'd be okay. I like to exercise. I only work about 4 hours a day, so I have the time. I just can't seem to control what I eat. I especially love to eat late at night when watching TV. I can do so good all day long and then 10 o'clock comes and I ruin it.
My other problem is that I'm not much of a veggie eater. The only veggies I really like are corn, potatoes, and green beans. The starchy ones. I like fruit, but it's not very filling. I get tired of eating chicken and I'm not much of a fish eater. I'd really rather eat a cheesesteak most of the time or pizza. I love junk food - chips, candy bars, nachos, cookies. I eat when I'm not hungry just for the sheer taste.
Okay, I know I'm nuts and I probably have some sort of eating disorder, so what I'm really wondering is: Is there a good appetite suppressant? I've been checking a few on-line and I can't seem to find a bona fide review by someone who's used the product. These are the ones I'm considering: Leptovox, Fenphedra, Proactol.
Anyone try any of these and did you see results? I know I have to eat healthier and exercise. I'm okay with that if I could just get my cravings under control.
You're making me hungry! nm

Not around here, and glad.....I don't *do* meat scraps! lol

What's the best cut of meat for homemade philly...
steak subs? Our family loves them and we usually buy the frozen philly cheese steak meat...but I just can't stomach the smell of it even cooking anymore because it is sooooo greasy. I want to try to make some homemade from a fresh cut of meat. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

I caught the blues when trying to eat the red meat
because husband is a health food junkie and I think sometimes he expects the same of me. I love steak but hardly eat-are shrimp bad for someone who has high cholesterol? He eats fish- I don’t care for- fish is fish is fish to me- all taste alike except for the shrimp with the sauce and horse radish in it- yummy! My physician when I mentioned about my cholesterol told me to tell hubs to leave alone- mine was excellent and I could eat most anything. So there, man of the house!!
Too afraid of meat in restaurants now sm
Their meat may be old (sorry). If we do go, will only go to very busy place as even some bought at market are questionable. We have gift certificates which we appreciate as they are from busy places. Sometimes we have a "UFO" party. Unidentified freezer objects - if they're too old we throw them out. Buying light these days.Takes common sense, hopefully things will turn around in ཅ but for now I am being extremely careful and not loading up on meat either unless we intend to eat it soon. Perhaps I'm too cautious but things are rough right now for everyone, even the markets, restaurants, etc. I sure hope the turkeys are okay, even in good times we've gotten "bad ones" - have to open them up and be sure. Martha likes to brine hers in salt water - not a bad idea these days to check them out before it's too late the day of or the day before. Fresh is best - wish we had our own farm as some do.
How easy would it be for you to give up meat?
All forms of meat - beef, pork, chicken, venison....and anything else I'm missing.
It wouldn't be too hard for me.
I'm hungry! I want to eat! I'm trying to lose weight and I've been
doing pretty well, but now I'm getting at that poing where I just want to eat anything and everything. Any ideas on what I can do to curb my voracious appetite?
Yeah, if they are old enough to tell you to open your blouse because they are hungry
they are DONE with breastfeeding. Really odd.
I'm hungry and that sounds pretty good right now...

Bunch of money-hungry people
I think this is so ridiculous. Like these artists don't make millions of dollars already.
I think the artists should be fined for not giving a kick back to all the teachers who taught them and police officers who protected them as they were growing up and becoming the stars they are today.
I'm sorry, I just think our society is so twisted. Sports stars and hoochies who sing terribly but shake their breasts at you make millions, but the ones responsible for our safety and the education of our society make crap.
And people wonder why our society is in the crapper!
Okay, off my soapbox now :)
Do you eat hot dogs? meat scraps, pig lips, etc.

Sort of - I generlly buy some hamberger meat, and whatever - sm
is on sale and bring it home for 2 or 3 days worth of meals. My DH does 95% of the cooking. We generally buy what is on sale, whole chickens, thighs/breasts, pork chops, have tacos, I do pot roasts now and then. My mom used to make out a weekly list every Wednesday or so, and do the weekly shopping Thursday after work. We would drop about $100, this was in the late 80s/through 90s. My DH is actually better at shopping than I am and comes home with a lot for $50. Scan the food ads and plan around them, best way (and cheapest) way to do it.
Again, the end times. I'm sorry, but what other explanation is there? Steroids in our meat? I don

looking for a spagetti sauce recipe without meat.
Does anyone have a tomato sauce recipe without meat? The only reciipe I have calls for ground up beef. I am serving chicken cutlets and spagetti on the side. My DD inlaws to be is coming to dinner so I want it to be perfect.
Sauce can be for crockpot or stove.
Thanks. I always enjoy the recipes on this board.
Cracklins have a little more meat attached, only difference.

Hard to do but it's working is eat only when hungry & stop when the sensation is gone. Really

I don't think she was being curt. We've all eaten when we weren't hungry. SM
I don't think diet pills are the way to go. And I could never understand paying big bucks to Jenny Craig or NutriSystem for food when you can learn to eat healthy all on your own. I agree exercising and portion control are the way to go. I also don't think cutting carbs entirely out is the answer either. Carbs are brain food and energy food. Sure, you don't need go overboard on carbs, but your body does need them.
I used to do diet pills and stuff like that, but I had trouble with my heart racing (as high as 130 bpm!) and my BP skyrocketed and then I had a full blown panic attack because I freaked that something was wrong with my heart. After I finally got my panic attack under control, I realized that I was just poisoning myself with diet pills and diet soda. Even though I had lost weight on them, I cut it all out of my diet. I will not ingest artificial sweeteners at all. I do have an occasional Coke - Regular Not Diet, but mostly water and juices. I've lost about 30 pounds in the last year.
I need to exercise more, though and I just bought the Core Rhythms DVD. I haven't gotten it yet, but it's on the way and I can't wait. I love to dance and I think this might be a good way to get into exercise. I've got about 40 more pounds to lose, but I'm getting there. The big battle for me is fast food. It's so convenient and easy and when I'm getting the kids something, it's easy to just order me a little something, just this once...
I used to be slim and trim too, back in the day. You know, before the kids and 17 years of marriage. In the 80s, I was an aerobics queen! Remember when it was really popular? I had leotards with matching leg warmers and sweat bands, and had my ponytail on the side of my head! I look back now and it was hilarious!
Catlady is right. I notice that even with food my cat LOVES, and even when she is hungry, (sm)
she will often look at a bowl of freshly-put-out food, and then walk away from it. This happens more often if the canned food has been in the fridge & is a little cold. I think the main reason she does it, though, is because if I'm up and walking around, then she thinks there is a possibility I might want to play. Play is more important to her than food! If she sees that I'm occupied with something else, (like working...) then she eventually saunters over to her bowl & starts to eat. Also, cats usually won't eat it all at once. They tend to keep going back to "nibble" for hours. So don't remove it if she doesn't dive into it right away. As Catlady said, let it sit, and eventually she WILL eat.
Help feed hungry dogs! I saw this young girl SM
last weekend on the Today Show. SInce she was tiny she has loved animals. Just click and answer the question and each time someone visits this site a donation of 20 pieces of Kibble is made. Doesn't matter if your answer to the question is correct or not. I do it every day. They allow one hit a day per person. Just takes a few seconds and does so much.

This veg head never uses meat in stuffing, or chicken broth. nm

My SIL makes it this way and the meat basically falls off of the bone.
I know that once she gets the pork seasoned, she puts in a small roasting pan and then sets it in a "bano maria" at 250 degrees like for 10-12 hours depending on the size. I will see if I can get the recipe from her. As far as the seasoning, it all depends which way you want it, for Cuban style mojo seasoning, it can be bought already made in a bottle at the grocery's store in the international food section, probably Goya brand. Then, there is the other seasoning with the oregano, salt, vinegar, garlic, black pepper, and olive oil.

Some folks just take for granted that they can walk into a market and shop for meat...We've done the same for similar reasons as you and nothing was wasted. At least you're self sufficient!!! And, I bet you've put up/canned/frozen all the vegetables from the summer/fall harvest.
