re: What are people eating?

Sounds nice!

Ate squirrel last night.
Ate deer the night before.
Ate a wild hog the night before that.

Friend,
You are going to die from a stroke

Thanks Obama.

Am I doing it right?

It costs zero because I trap and net our own bait and already own tens of thousands of dollars worth of fishing rods and tackle. My garage looks like a Bass Pro Shops aisle and I have a fully functional 300 gallon homemade, aerated livewell under the carport.

That doesn't sound free to me, baw, but it does sound delicious!

Had catfish Sunday. Today was poke for lunch and chili for dinner.

Steak last night and fajitas the night before.

All home made, except for the poke.

Also thinking of keeping a calf and fattening it up.

You would be better off with 1/2 cow, raising one calf would be costly..but you end up with a huge amount of off cuts. I like them, but you braise a bunch.

A steer calf would probably run you about 250 dollars, I dont even know if you can buy just 1...then the feed, the vet, the whatever...then you gotta get it killed, cleaned, and butchered. If you just get a 1/2 or whole it probably wont cost you a whole lot more.

But back to the point, our meat consumption is not down per se, but I am shopping much harder and not just grabbing a pack of ribeyes and am taking adbantage of Sams for poultry or watching the sales papers. Havent dont that since the 90s.

Mrs. Axe and I catch a shitload of catfish, bluegill and crappie every year, and so we've just kept more than usual this past couple years and are eating a lot more fish. It costs zero because I trap and net our own bait and already own tens of thousands of dollars worth of fishing rods and tackle. My garage looks like a Bass Pro Shops aisle and I have a fully functional 300 gallon homemade, aerated livewell under the carport. Seriously, my expensive fishing addiction has paid big dividends lately.

You just made me feel better about my stupid expensive amount of fishing tackle. Thanks man.

Now if I could get my wife on board with believing this it would be great.

I think you are right. I know 20 people who could never lose weight who are now skinnier than they should be. That’s a lot of excess food not being eaten.
