Has anyone determined how all of the studies they analyzed defines "processed meat"? I find it hard to believe that in the "20 studies (that) met inclusion criteria", all of them defined "processed meat" in the same exact way. I think it's important to make a distinction between foods such as lunch meats, that often contain fillers, and foods like bacon, which has no actual fillers. What is the scientific standard that defines "processed meat", or is there one?

Thanks JayJay, I will try that. We made your bacon burger's on Saturday, they were great!
Awesome! I made them a couple nights ago too. Highly addictive. My meat grinder is getting a workout! LOL

Hi tracyd! I make my own breakfast sausage too, there is a recipe in the recipe forum here: http://cavemanforum.com/recipes-and-meal-photos/bacon-sage-breakfast-sausageYour version sounds great but I've found marjoram to be the key ingredient to really give it that authentic breakfast sausage flavor. Add a 1/2 tsp for every 2 lbs. of ground pork. Give it a shot next time and see if the marjoram added to your regular recipe raises the bar a little. Jay

I hear you. A number of years ago I had a friend pass away at 53 years of age. He left behind a wife and two young daughters. He was a type 1 diabetic and you could see his decline towards the end but his medical care was all about "taking your pills", in spite of this continual and obvious decline. When he passed, it was from heart failure, and that's how it was recorded on his death certificate and medical records. Not from diabetes, but heart failure.
It's clear that the medical community understands little about nutrition and the link between it and metabolic diseases and their effects on internal organ and tissue health. Few doctors have connected the dots, and there seems to be little financial incentive to do so. The whole system is dysfunctional and disturbing. I have little faith left in the entire medical establishment unless I get a dog bite or broken arm, or something they can't screw up too badly.
Of all the things I want to leave to my children, I hope I can at least leave them with an understanding of how detrimental the agendas of the food/agriculture industries, medical and pharmaceutical industries, the mainstream media, and our government are to our health and well being. Everybody should know this and be critical of their "conventional wisdom".

One day I was sitting around contemplating possible new uses for a meat grinder I had recently purchased, mainly to grind my own pork. Then the idea for the ultimate bacon burger hit me. So I took a pound of uncured bacon and cut it into chunks and ground it in the meat grinder. Then I took that pound of ground bacon and mixed it with a pound of grassfed ground beef. There's plenty of salt and flavor in the bacon, so no need to add anything else. Just form some patties and fry them up in a skillet.
You won't find a better, juicier, or more tender burger anywhere.

Humans are fativores.
hippos are fat
horses are fat
"Fativores"...excellent! LOL But horses are fat? Really? I guess I've never seen a fat horse. All the horses I've seen, wild and domestic, are all muscle. The horse meat I've eaten was extremely lean (and kind of disgusting to my taste). I'd be amazed to see a fat horse in the wild.

Awesome! That's quite an achievement considering the literal bombardment kids get about the wrong food from the day they are born.
I'm struggling with the same issues, but with 2-year olds, and both at school and home since mom isn't too hot on the whole paleo thing. But on the days I'm in charge, they eat like cavemen and they enjoy it!

I've eaten my pork "medium" for as long as I can remember. Only domestic pork, not feral. I still cook feral swine all the way through. Even the usually clueless USDA recently changed the minimum cooking temperature recommendation for domestic pork from 160°F to 145°F. http://www.fsis.usda.gov/news/NR_052411_01/index.asp

Okee dokee then.
FWIW, there is an autoimmune version of paleo, and that is what we have been trying to guide you on. It doesn't ADD any non-paleo foods (like sweet potatoes and quinoa), it only further limits choices among accepted paleo foods.
Anyway, you certainly seem to think you have it all figured out even though it's clear you don't even know the fundamentals on nutrition, which myself and others have tried to point out to you. Eating meat and saturated animal fat does not by itself raise serum cholesterol. But you can keep believing that if you wish.
Best of luck.

rarose67, many of us are here and eating paleo because of health issues. Maybe not as severe as yours, but if you think everyone here is some muscular, athletic, energetic, crossfit maniac, guess again. Personally, I barely have the energy to get from one day to the next. But paleo helped me improve this situation dramatically. Many of us have a laundry list of health problems and we "feel your pain".
We really want to help, but we can only help with paleo, not "kinda' sorta' paleo". We often refer to this as "faileo" because not following paleo properly almost universally results in failure. We'd hate to see you not succeed then say, "Well, I tried paleo and it didn't work." when, in fact, you didn't really try paleo.
I'll close with this thought. Have you ever considered that, perhaps, your aversion to certain types of nutrient-rich meat, and the lack of it in your diet throughout your lifetime, is part of the reason you have health issues to begin with? There are scads of former vegans who have abandoned veganism for that very reason. The lack of adequate animal protein and fat was making them ill. While this concept doesn't really help you get past your dislike of meat, and your religious/moral views on it, perhaps the idea that your body needs it is worth seeking out a way to get it, even if it's just to "see what happens".
