As a budget thing, I've taken to buying family packs of chicken leg quarters, breaking them down into drumsticks and thighs, removing the skin, and then packaging everything up in individual servings for the freezer (and freezing the chicken skin too for rendering when I have enough to make it worthwhile). I was in the midst of doing all this at my kitchen table when suddenly I realized I had an audience - my cat. I've done this prep routine any number of times without Mr Swayze showing any interest, but there he was tonight, pacing about my little kitchen around and behind me, definitely fascinated by all this raw carnivore-food aroma his human was releasing. It wasn't his full-on begging mode as he didn't vocalize (oh he's got a whole vocabulary of mrrts and meows, believe me!) but his level of interest was definitely clear. Fortunately the old gent is a little too arthritic to go table-diving, but I did hasten to get everything sealed up and stowed away safely before things got out of hand. 😹

“After adjustment of potential confounders, a 5% of energy increment from dietary total and #AnimalProtein intake was related to a 9% (1.04, 1.13; I2 = 42.0%) and 12% (95% CI 1.08, 1.17; I2 = 14.0%) higher risk of type 2 #diabetes respectively. However, for plant protein, a significant U-shaped curve was observed with the most risk reduction at intake of about 6% of energy intake from plant protein intake “ https://mastodonapp.uk/@PaulSchleifer/112877202902861262

Last night I made dinner for the couple who put me up while I was waiting for the power to go back on at my new place. Really happy with the teriyaki sauce I whipped up with my hosts' high-quality tamari and mirin plus a whole lotta fresh ginger!

Just saw someone once again stating the "proven" link between animal protein consumption and higher mortality rates by citing a study that actually says, in its own abstract:

"These associations were confined to participants with at least one of the unhealthy lifestyle factors based on smoking, heavy alcohol drinking, overweight or obesity, and physical inactivity, but not evident among those without any of these risk factors."
