I do agree that meat smells good when cooking.

When I started eating meat raw, I ate some previously frozen ground
beef.  It is hard (hard? impossible more like) to find fresh grass fed
meat, unless I buy or hunt an entire animal.  I prefer meat that has
never been frozen.  I also eat raw eggs, chicken, fish and raw dairy
(but I won't mention the dairy because it's off topic ;)).

Thanks for all the mentions that the debate raw vs cooked is welcome.
I have been on this list almost a year now and I love the information
and debates!
