I dare say most Aussies don't like eating offal
I remember when my mum would make a chicken soup there was always some heart, giblets or chicken feet in there as well
Same here Darkoz. I think after 1977 (when the food pyramid as we know it) came out, with horror stories about cholesterol and saturated fats, the western world (first and foremost) bought into that idea, and since those days, it's been a hugely uphill battle to simply eat whole foods. Fast forward to the age of computers that we're living now, and you've got yourself a double whammy of inactivity that is married to a naked bride (food), naked in every way except taste, as if we've become slaves held hostages to our own taste buds.
In all my years, I've never felt better or more energized than when I was eating a large amount of eggs (20-30/day)..., no I'm not suggesting anyone do that. But eggs, liver, saturated fats like ghee, butter, full cream milk, home made natural yogurt, fatty fish like sardines and mackerel, herbs such as parsley (Tabouleh), and the rest of fully "dressed" food, except whole grain whole wheat stuff (which set my joints on fire) due to them causing high inflammation were kept out.
I think if one truly listens to his body's feedback immediately after and /or a day after ingesting certain foods, one ought to be able to figure out what food suits them well (based on what they're involved in at the time, sport wise etc), and what foods ought to be kept out. Often we make the mistake of listening to what is suitable for someone else without listening to what our bodies are trying to tell us via (perhaps) a low mood, a high and bright mood, a feeling of lethargy vs a feeling of eagerness to move about.
The west (as a whole) due to its capitalist driven way of life, has lost one of the most crucial element to human health, and no it's not food. In a single word, it's: connectedness!
My jaws drop when I see people standing next to each other or being in the same room, yet communicating via some electronic mean, and not necessarily with or to each other! It seems that the "social" media and its social mediums have stripped the physicality that was once intrinsic to the word "social". Bring back connectedness for it is embedded into our DNA as human beings, and without it, we will suffer and we
are suffering, yet are fumbling in looking for the right answers in the wrong places. Bone broth anyone
