Food Quality
Choose a food item to see its quality criteria:
MeatMandatoryRaw
Undesirable but not unacceptableFreezing
Frozen meat is quite damaged
Freezing destroys 80 of nutrients in meat according to Aajonus, and generates some toxins. It is best to avoid it.
Beneficial but not mandatoryOrganic
Organic meat is better, but non-organic lean cuts of meat can be fine
Toxins store in the fat, so lean cut from non-organic animals (except pig, which should be truly organic) could be of acceptable quality.
Beneficial but not mandatory
100% grass-fed grass-finished meat is better
An animal fed too much grain will make less nutritious meat.
Beneficial but not mandatory
Freshly-slaughtered meat is ideal
The meat is more vibrant with nutrition if the animal was alive just a few moments prior. Over the days the meat can lose enzymes and overall nutrition. Freshly-killed meat is about 2x better.
Undesirable but not unacceptable
Beware of cheap meat
Depending on where you live, some unscrupulous sellers might inject water or add coloring on the meat.
Undesirable but not unacceptable
Beware of conventional, and all meat
In the USA, by law, the meat has to be sprayed with citric acid (GMO) or frozen. Few places manage to provide fresh non-treated meat.
tipPrivate food clubs should be able to circumvent that, but do make sure sƟll. Amos Miller for example won a court case against that.
Beneficial but not mandatoryOrganic
Non-organic lean meat could be fine
Toxins store in the fat, so lean cut from non-organic animals (except pig, which should be truly organic) could be of acceptable quality.
Undesirable but not unacceptableOrganic
Organs must be top quality
Avoid organs from non-organic sources, as toxins tend to store there as well, and on top of organic, the animal should be completely unvaccinated.
Undesirable but not unacceptable
Ground meat is of lesser quality
It is better to take whole cuts:
warningMeat grinders can leech metals into the meat.
warningMeat that is grinded only once can be fine, but twice grounded “homogenizes” it too much and makes it harder to digest.
tipPrefer using a food processor to make chopped meat or pâté, superior in every way, and can be made to have a chunky texture as well (see the guides for pâté and deli pâté / marinated pâté towards the end of this guide).
Undesirable but not unacceptableDrying
Dried meat is much less digestible
Drying, the removal of moisture, kills bacteria which disables the enzymes and prevents digestion of most of the meat. Prefer raw unsalted cheese for dry food cravings.
Very undesirableStorage
Avoid saran wrap
Unlike regular plastic, saran wrap has chemicals that go deep into the item and cannot be scraped off.
