I am sorry for your loss, and it's no doubt hard given the history. I hope you don't let the guilt eat you up. It sounds like you were being pushed away for years, and even to some extent used as a pawn in a war of hatred and anger between your parents. Bitterness can really change people, so hopefully you can remember…

That's awesome! Congratulations on your hard work, and you're looking great!

PS - Enjoy the brew, and I'm jealous. Would love one, but trying to be pretty strict with my diet until I hit my goal weight. Cheers :drinker:

Alright, not going to bicker with you. As I said before, lean ground beef is fine. I like the the benefits of bison that I stated in original post. You don't see enough of an advantage, and you prefer beef. Fair enough, to each his own.

For all those who love turkey, I agree it is a very healthy food. I've got a mental block for it though, since I read a couple of articles about ground turkey adulterated with turkey poop! :laugh: May be totally false, but it's in my mind now, lol PS - Did a quick search since my credibility has been questioned by a rather…

Whoa, we got ourselves a bonafide keyboard cowboy, LOL. Easy there, tough guy. Do your own homework. There are learned treatises and journal articles on the subject that, as stated, are peer reviewed. If you don't know how to use Google Scholar, for example, then don't expect me to do your homework for you. And maybe…

Were they tested on a like for like basis? I found an article discussing one, but it didn't mention if a lower fat beef was used, for instance. One or even a handful of studies does not a conclusive proof make. If OP wants to start posting them, I'm happy to read, but I've read enough of these meat studies to know that…

The way I've do it is to just cut bite size nuggets from the back strap, soak it in milk overnight, bread and season it and then deep fry it. Delicious. I do prefer the steaks though, and much healthier!

I've had elk many times. I've actually had it elk fried nuggets, which were very good. I've had elk steak many times. It's a lot like bison in that it's extremely lien. Every elk steak I've had has been marinated over night, and has turned out awesome on the grill.

I agree, it's the internet, and everyone has an opinion. Was just sharing mine, so if anyone benefits, all the better. :happy:

There are peer reviewed articles that it's healthier. It's also illegal for bison to be adulterated. I do agree that it's possible for people to consume beef that is nearly as healthy if they choose wisely. Was just making a suggestion for people with maybe too much fat in their diet or who like foods high in Omega 3s.…

The nutritional stats are from the bison I purchase. I am sure the processing of the meat from other farms could change that. Here is a link that compares bison to other meats: http://www.bisoncentral.com/cooking-bison/nutrition-information

That's really cheap for ground bison. I did a lot of research before I decided on a vendor for ground bison, and I buy directly from a smaller farm that raises bison to the highest organic standards. I'd personally be suspicious of ground bison that costs $8 a pounds, but who knows. It's like from one of Ted Turner's 17…

That's awesome, congratulations! :smile: I'll be turning 50 this year, so it is encouraging to see others around the same age achieving their goals. It certainly does take more work then it did at even 40. Great accomplishment....you should be proud!

Thanks, this is the first time I've tried gluten free. I don't think I am sensitive to gluten per se, but just thought I'd try it after reading tennis star Novak Djokovic's recent best seller "Serve to Win." In his book, he talks about how going gluten free helped his focus and energy, so I figured it's worth a shot. I'm…

Should add that I'd also love to hear from others who are Gluten free, or are looking for Gluten free friends. Certainly not necessary to add as friend, but thought I'd mention. I am going to be a daily logger now too, and will try to inspire!
