That seems to be the most common question I get from people who know about carnivore and aren’t opposed to someone else doing it

My usual answer has just been “no, since it’s so nutritious it always tastes good”

But really it’s not all the same. The batch of fat I’m using at the moment has more flavour than the last lot, also the texture of my pemmican is different this time to last, less well blended so there are bits one can chew, though nothing too big to easily swallow if in a hurry

    I found carnivore became cheap with pemmican. I make it out of the least costly cuts, and tallow is cheap

    Eat the way you like, but don’t feel this way is closed off due to cost

    The old book “the fat of the land” reckoned an average person doing light work needs about 250g of pemmican a day, twice that for people doing heavy work. You get 250g out of 125g each of tallow and bone dry meat, which comes from ~420g of fresh beef and ~135g of un-rendered fat. I don’t know what it costs for you but for me it’s about $AU5 a day making a kilogram of pemmican per batch
