I thought Steffanson (sp?) ate boiled fish with his eskimos- I wonder how much he boiled it. I have a problem in that my hubby won't eat meat unless it's practically incinerated - I can eat it either way but recently get turned off overcooked meat.

I'm not sure I agree that vegetables don't have value and we can't absorb the nutrients - for instance potassium. Could it be that if you overcook the meat, or add too much salt etc. a demand for things like potassium and vitamin C increases - therefore you have to eat more veggies. I know if I've indulged too much in salt, I feel drawn to eating more vegetables - especially things like tomatoes, which are high in potassium.

My guess is I probably wouldn't feel this way if I were drinking lots of meat broth - as that contains lots of potassium etc.
