Clean meat does not need to be frozen. Filthy meat is not purified by
freezing. Most bacteria and parasites are not harmed by freezing. Sally
Fallon is mistaken about this.

For myself, I sometimes eat raw beef and fish, and I don't worry about
pathogens. I don't eat ground meat raw, you don't know what is in that
stuff.

In the archives there are discussions of raw meat eating.
