I just placed an order. I remember I ordered some a long time ago. I don't think I was impressed. I wanna say it was tough and dry but I don't remember. I'm very much willing to try it again.

Not only that, if you go to the product page it has to be both specially shipped and assembled because it's two packages with a combined weight of 1600 pounds.

I know I'm late on sugarchat, but I'd just like to generally point out that doctors aren't dieticians. Things like artificial sweeteners and the effects of whey protein on blood sugar levels aren't necessarily taught in med school. For example, when I asked my PCP for help/advice on losing weight, he basically just said to eat fruit instead of potato chips for snacking. Seriously. And I really like him as a doctor, too.

The super giant bear would be a great joke Yankee Swap gift, particularly with kids involved. My aunt's extended family had this carved wooden loon that would appear every single year as tradition.

That said, a $950 wheel of parm would make a killer wedding gift for my best friend

It was really really good. It was small-batch high-quality jerky made by an experienced chef with a unique base flavor and fat profile thanks to the bear meat.

The roadkill element makes it sound kinda weird and rednecky but I don’t think I’d be down with eating bear meat under other circumstances.

Nice.

I’m with you on the sourcing. As long as the roadkill is recent and responsibility handled I’d be down for it.

Pity I live nowhere near where easy bear/venison/boar can be had. Sigh.

Sure, not entirely untrue, but a) your doctor is not wrong, I don't know why you're so scared of fruit unless you have something like diabetes, b) carbs are not insta-weight on your tummy, lowering your carb intake can help but just removing carbs alone doesn't mean you lose weight, c) fruit is absolutely better for losing weight than potato chips if for the fiber alone, obviously depends on the fruit, and d) the original poster was talking about his endocrinologist who treats his diabetes so, yeah, I'd like to think that doctor knows a little more than your average pcp about this poo poo.

Doctors are not infallible, but drat is there a weird strain of I-know-better going on.

I think the part of keto that makes people lose weight is no beer. That being said I was doing it because I had just moved right next to some friends. One of them had a "dude you're about to get beetus" scare so I joined just because we were gonna be making food for each other a lot. It did actually get him way out of that phase or whatever. SOo that's my anecdote.

Anyways Pacific Gold jerky is good. But, yeah, if you need a jerky fix get that Big John's stuff that you can get from a goon on SA Mart. I've used that as a cheat code for christmas presents multiple years in a row.

It's for fulfilling checklists in some tacky mcmansion.

House: Has Game room ✅
Game room: Has Pool Table ✅

Like all mcmansion pool tables, its primary use is to take up space in an oversized, unused room.

Ya that's relatable. I feel that each time I see massage chairs on sale. It's OK that I like getting good deals on paper products and frozen foods at the same place that makes money on someone buying garage flooring to park a Corvette on. Some days they make money on me buying a modern coffee table and other days on someone buying a traditional bedroom set that I would pay money to get rid of.

I feel that costco online has the occasional weird rear end super expensive thing just as a way to create a little buzz, and less for actually toward the bottom line. Like when they have some original artwork on there for $250k or whatever.

But drat that pool table is fuckin dumb hahaha

Has anyone mentioned biltong? Find somewhere to get some biltong.

I dropped my dog on the ground on the way out of the store yesterday because a very small old woman hit me with her cart. Going early really gets you in with the elderly and I had an idea: Cart Chauffeurs. Someone to steer the cart while you aimlessly shop without a care. Employees see you clip a single ankle or block a whole aisle? Mandatory Cart Chauffeur for the rest of your trip. Sell it to people as an extended service you earned by being a Member. Have gold elite chauffeur memberships.

I'm just spitballing, but I think my idea has merit.

Why does everyone marvel at that brownie, but not at the 6 billion calories in the dozen muffins offered at the same bakery? Sure you can spread the muffins out amongst many people, but who really does that?

I will admit, that I do miss the croissants on my current diet. Getting out to my car and inhaling 1-2 of those things on the way home while they were still super flaky and crispy was the highlight of my trip.
