I just put possum in there to see if I could get a "rise" from you guysActually, when I was in my early teens, I did enjoy possum, ground hogs, turtles, frogs, racoons, rabbits, squirrels, deer, dove, duck, quail, fish eggs, hog brains, morel mushrooms, rhubarb, gooseberries, possum grapes, fox grapes, persimmons, sassafras tea, mulberries, pickled pigs feet and so on. Grandma would cook anything that we would kill and clean. Quite adventurous childhood, I think? Ken Sweet
Morels are some of the most desired wild mushrooms around here...they are easy to distinguish and extremely tasty...very expensive if you can find a restaurant that serves wild morels...

Possum grapes are good, and make excellent jelly. Possum ain't so hot; prefer bologna. Head cheese is good; Menudo...once was enough. Frog legs are wonderful.

When my dad lived on this farm back in the 80's, he had a buddy who would come out and shoot the groundhogs and then cook them. I never wanted to sample the results.

Don - Since Jim suggested I might have been trying to pull your chain...:confused3: Not me ....never
I post this link to prove your nutrition plan to be valid and something we should all try to at least get close to...So here it is > BBC News - Processed meat 'early death' link

Once you start looking there are a lot of studies to validate plant based diet. This is not a "I believe" diet this is "fact based diet" or I would not be on it. This study is interesting because if you just cut in half the amount of meat (processed) you live 12 years more. It's sad 10,000 had to die from cancer and 5,500 from heart disease to prove it.
A lot of people here say that they don't mind cutting a few years off their life for meat. What they don't understand is that they are the ones leaving their family. I think they are just trying lamely to be macho. I will believe them if they write a goodbye letter to their family and post it. A person where I used to work wrote such a letter and it was printed and distributed at his funeral. It really struck me when the person dying wrote how he will miss his family. It was really sad.

That is extremely sad Don, and I have know a couple of guys just like that...that said if they had to eat that blankety ...blank diet they would rather not be alive...and I don't think they were or are wrong...each to his own...everyone has their priorities...quantity of life to some and quality of life to others...In other words , I think the case can be made for someone to never go outside , never take any chances, take lots of vitamins and eat the perfect diet ...but funny thing is they would probably be struck by lightening or some rare disease..who knows these things...? My point is we all have to do what we feel is right for us based on all the input we get from how we feel, our docs , tests etc....and pray a lot...

OK JF you win. You have the saddest story of the day. But deep down you still have hope, otherwise it would be wrapped in bacon and smother with cheese.

The "struck by lightning" comes up a lot when comparing diet with disease and dying. I think a more fitting comparison would be grabbing hold of a downed electric wire. You got about a fifty fifty chance of being fried. My point is 1/2 of all people who die from a heart attack - that was the first symptom. You cannot go by how you feel, and when praying you may not be ready to hear the answer: "Come stay with me".

You are exactly right Don....None of us knows when the call will come but what a glorious day it will be as long as it is Jesus saying " Come stay with me " and not the Evil one....My point is ...none of us knows...we all are subject to our genes and good judgment or lack of it... We have to just keep on keepin' on and do the best we can.
