    Having been in clinical medicine for 20+ years, I've done some tat removals. Now-a -days they can use lasers, but back in the day, you basically had to remove the tissue and then suture the resulting wound. If the tat wasof any appreciatable size, you had to do it in sections. It wasn't a very pretty process.

    New here, but jumping in with both feet

    Hello, I am new here. I found this site after having been searching for information since the NIC show that included the unlaid eggs. These are an old ingredient, used by many cultures. One old Italian recipe calls for stuffing them in the middle of a stuffing in the cavity of a chicken. The French call them petits oeufs. If anyone is grossed out by the idea it is because you are not connected to food.

    I tell you this story, it happened yesterday. I am a retired chef, have been to Le Cordon Bleu, and currently raise my own meat, pork, lamb and chickens besides having laying hens. There are varieties of meat birds, genetic crosses that grow fast and have big breast-meat. I chose not to use those this year, calling them Frankenbirds, and trying for something different. Bought Barred Rocks, a breed of laying chickens, instead.

    Yesterday was slaughter day and my friend and I set about to do the job. I was surprised when I ran across a perfect yolk, so orange from the grass that the free range flock has had access to all summer, there in the cavity. I said to my friend, "I'm going to eat this, so turn your head if you must," and popped it into my mouth. You have no idea what richness and flavor was encapsulated there. Over the course of the rest of the slaughter, some 18 birds, I ate a half dozen more, saved half dozen that I'll use today, and also found half dozen eggs ready to be laid.

    To the person who said that eggs are a chickens menstrual cycle, you are misinformed. I've encountered this false idea before, usually by vegans. Chickens lay eggs every day. That is what they are designed to do. They are not mammals. They don't have menstrual cyclesm, don't keep their babies inside their bodies. Just as cows are designed to give milk, chickens are designed to lay eggs.

    It is to my deep sorrow that people are so separated from the origins of the food they consume.

    Hope I haven't annoyed anyone with my first post.

    Welcome. Interesting info. When it comes to butchering, there are a lot of things I would rather not have to do, but I often do just to keep from paying extra ... or because of where I live they have no clue what I want and sometimes don't have what I want available to cut ... just what's in "packages".

    What do you grow?

    That is, in part, the reason I grow my own meat. Another reason is to avoid GMO (genetically modified organisms)/GE ingredients which are so prevalent now. IMO this is the reason for the upswing in obesity, diabetes, cancer and other diseases. And, to stay away from chemicals to the degree that I can.

    My father, who was in the food industry his whole career, starting in 1950, told me many times that people have a right to clean food. Food was clean in the fifty's and even with the advent of TV dinners, food was clean. Now, you 'takes your chances' with anything store bought, especially the food that has a list of ingredients 4 inches long. And they don't even have to tell you what they aren't listing if it is an industry standard. Even the chips, for example, that say 0 Trans Fats, that's a lie. If there is 2% or less of hydrogenated oil (cotton, soy, corn, canola - all GMO unless labeled organic), they are free to lie about it.

    I better step down of my soapbox now.

    It would be so great to see a Food Network show that talks about the truth of store bought food.

    Bon Appetite!

    I don't have the room or the light. In the mountains it's tough to get enough light to grow anything. I have very few house plants because the light thru the windows is so poor. Nothing in the mountains is the same level, the houses across the street are higher than me .... the ones on the street behind are lower. Everyone blocks someone's sun for at least a good portion of the day and the trees take care of most of the rest of the day. Can't raise livestock of any kind.... city ordinance. But we do have a farmers market that's pretty nice. Sometimes you can't get everything you want though.

    I remember seeing an interview with Jack LaLane. He was talking about healthy foods. The interviewer asked him if he had any words of wisdom for the viewers (I think he was 93 at the time). He said, "If it's store-bought packaged food, throw it out and if it tastes good spit it out." He said he eats fresh fruit, fish and sometimes turkey and that's it.
