• I'm an ex ranch-fanatic. It's still hard for me to imagine dry lettuce heh. Avocado sounds like a good idea. I'm just worried about eating too much of it since I plan on doing multiple salads per day

• Re: raw pet food: Thanks for the tips guys! follow up question: How much do you feed your animals per day? and where do you get this from? do you go to the grocery store and ask for bones and organs at the meat counter? lol
