Today I bought the regular eggs (but from "chickens able to move around freely") because they did not specifically mention a vegetarian diet.<br /><br />I have to laugh at your comment about me being on the move re food. I have been ever since I left home. I'm just not into cooking; I'm into digestion. And that isn't always suitable blog material. :-)Keera Ann Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07466103379725251225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750259.post-56568493430230615062010-09-24T16:58:07.365+02:002010-09-24T16:58:07.365+02:00I don't have room for chickens (well, technica...I don't have room for chickens (well, technically, I'm not allowed to have them in the city limits, but hopefully that is changing soon), but I have a friend who (quietly) keeps chickens (no roosters!) in her yard and is happy to share the eggs. <br /><br />And I had the most delicious bacon a few days ago -- I know the <a href="http://sequatchiecovefarm.com/" rel="nofollow">people who raised the pig</a> and I know <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Link-41-Sausage/113455712003449" rel="nofollow">the guy who crafted the meat</a> (he's my neighbor) and I agree -- it's better food (AND it really does taste better!) when it's raised properly.<br /><br />I'm glad you're on the move when it comes to food. We have to eat some of it every day, so it might as well be an adventure.alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18391518269613728994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750259.post-29037605663698556772010-09-22T17:38:38.935+02:002010-09-22T17:38:38.935+02:00Paula, thanks.

I'm eating more fish and meat than you are, but that's partly thanks to having it available at lunch every day.<br /><br />Throckey the Omnivore, if I had a place to keep chickens, I would definitely consider having some.<br /><br />Zuzana, you are so right about the lack of quality and variety in our food. Your parents had the right stuff. Your stomach sounds like mine (heh). Try adding more animal fats in your diet, while reducing all grains and potato foods, and see if that won't help. I'm amazed at how well my stomach is doing.<br /><br />To all: New "side effect": I've lost about 3 pounds, mostly around my middle, and no longer have a BMI over 25. The LCHF folks did not lie.Keera Ann Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07466103379725251225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750259.post-11174841637307593462010-09-21T08:26:50.743+02:002010-09-21T08:26:50.743+02:00Wonderful and interesting post.
I think the proble...Wonderful and interesting post.<br />I think the problem in our society is that we tend to eat the same things and much of what we eat is pumped with additives and none of it is fresh.<br />When my parents were growing up, even when i was a child, we got fresh milk from cows that were grazing outside, fresh meat and vegetables that were in season. My mom recalls, that even though she grew up in an apartment, her father went to the market ever Saturday, where he got not just fresh fruit and vegetables but even live poultry that was brought home and which was prepared fresh that day for dinner.<br />A few years back I was trying to lose weight and went off meat and ate lots of vegetables. I ruined m gut completely and suffered from terrible constipation. I am still not fine today...<br />xoxoZuzanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137958790178864561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750259.post-31302643187056950422010-09-21T07:01:56.343+02:002010-09-21T07:01:56.343+02:00The best way to get eggs is to have your own chick...The best way to get eggs is to have your own chickens, who can get a completely natural and organic diet from your food scraps. (and any worms they happen to dig up in the yard) <br /><br />It's funny that the people who were always trying to get me to go vegetarian were always beset with health problems. <br /><br />I is Omnivore.throckeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16655201298614898702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750259.post-91783986936349655742010-09-21T04:27:13.370+02:002010-09-21T04:27:13.370+02:00Most days I don't eat meat, but I do always ha...Most days I don't eat meat, but I do always have milk, cheese, yogurt or eggs. After about 4-5 days of that I'll make sure to at least have some chicken or fish and once a week or so I'll have red meat. This all seems to work so far. I could eat more veggies though, not that I have problems, but I think I just should. I don't buy any special organic food, but am considering switching to local eggs after this latest horror.<br /><br />Good luck with new plan!Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10352412943602159027noreply@blogger.com
