The Carnivore’s Dilemma

Quote:
Save those organs
Nutritionist Helge Hellberg explains that by rejecting off cuts we lose out on much of the nutrition that meat offers. For instance, organs are the most nutrient-dense parts of an animal. Liver, as your mother may have told you, is perhaps the best source of iron we have. And eating heart gains you CoQ10, an enzyme that supports your own heart and blood vessel functions. What’s more, Hellberg explains that because animal organs are so similar to ours on a cellular level, their nutrition is more readily metabolized than iron or CoQ10 that comes in a pill.

For his almost missionary zeal in promoting offal-eating, Cosentino finds plenty of critics — he has even received death threats from animal rights activists. But knowing that Americans are going to continue to eat meat, he insists that head-to-tail is the only moral choice. “An animal is giving its life for you to eat,” he says. “Do it justice and eat every last piece. It’s just the right thing to do.”



I so agree with this. I abhor waste. In a way it is disrespectful to the creature that died. KWIM?

Yah, I do. And, if we did evolve eating all of the animal, then many of us might be missing many necessary nutrients as well.

I would like to begin exploring some of these animal parts. It's hard, but, it's probably only good to do so. The large meat processor, that is only a couple miles from me, has all sorts of animal parts I've never even thought to try. If I start getting naturally raised animals from local farmers again, they usually include everything. Will have to figure out how to prepare a lot of this stuff.

That's almost free!!!  I've never had tongue.....well, not beef tongue  Devil , but I've heard it tastes like......well......beef.  LOL

Beef tongue is INCREDIBLE!   Lots of Mexican eateries where I live and they all serve "tacos de lengua"  I don't get the tacos, they sell me a pound of cooked tongue for 6 bucks.  If you wanna cook it at home, in my experience, tongue must be slow cooked in a crock pot, then diced into small bits.  It's soooo good. Yup  Yup  Yup

Tongue is a staple in Korean Yakiniku...oh, and it's so YUMMY!
