Keto Carnivory
Highest Quality Meat on a Budget
This weekend I met a local farmer to stock up on organ meats for variety over the winter. I already have a mini chest freezer full of lamb roasts, stew meat, and ribs, plus some Mangalitsa and Ibericus pork as well. But although these types of pork are healthier than regular pork, they are still pretty high in omega 6 fatty acids which cause inflammation and make me not feel well. So I wanted another healthy alternative that is still affordable!
I found that organ meats and offal, except for sweetbreads (thymus and pancreas) are usually very affordable, $3/lb or less for locally raised 100% grassfed and grass-finished lamb, goat, or beef. Which is great! So I was able to procure probably around 30 lbs of lamb and goat kidney, tongue, heart, and testes. Also, when I bought a full sheep share, that only came to $3/lb as well, since mutton is more affordable than lamb! And it tastes exactly the same. I had also previously picked up some grassfed and grass-finished beef oxtail, tongue, heart, and brisket.
I also found that the Asian grocery store has Pacific saury (sanma) for sale for just 4 for $3.50. So that's a great buy too.
Now that it seems I don't need to worry about fat to protein ratio so much, it certainly makes it easier. I don't have to focus on just fatty cuts, which are so hard to get!
If I can maintain just $3/lb for my meats, that means I can take early retirement in just a few years! Very exciting!
