hemp seed nut butter. Tons of protein and packed with omega 3s, too.

Melinda, can you get organic eggs? That is a little less expensive.

We also have a hard time sourcing organic meat products, but I was

fortunate enough to meet a lovely woman who owns a ranch and raises

hormone/antibiotic-free grassfed bison, elk, chickens, etc. We get

1/4 bison at a time (much cheaper that way), and I also asked her to

raise some chickens for us this summer. She agreed, on the condition

that I'd help with butchering... so I did. It was quite an

experience, but now we have a freezer full of farm raised, pretty-much

organic chicken (though not certified) for a really decent price. So

I guess my advice is: find a good farmer that treats their animals

well and buy from them, if you can. (This is not as easy if you are

in a large urban area of course, but it is a great way to get

affordable, quality meat.)

take care

The above site apparently offers the higher protein foods. I would

suggest using the grains amaranth and quinoa. Neither are the

cheapest, but you get the most 'bang for your buck'. Some of the

foods they list surprised me, but I guess they are providing an

exhaustive list. If you switched your diet to contain these listed

non-meat foods, you'd probably have enough protein. I suppose you

need to go organic, which ups the prices once again. Then there is

the whole 'will they eat it?' side of the problem.

If desperate, you can also use a protein powder. I don't know your

dietary restrictions (as far as GFCF, SCD, etc), but there are options

out there like whey protein, pea protein, egg protein powders. I

would leave these for those kids who self-restrict their diets. If

your kids are good eaters... stick with real food.

Good luck. The affordability part of treatment stinks. Walmart is

now carrying organic. I wonder if that includes meat? And, I wonder

if they offer any better deals?

You could also try to locate a farmer/rancher in your area and

approach them about cutting a deal (or go in with some friends and

split the costs). I've never tried it, but people *can* be

sympathetic!

I've been vegan (no animal products) for about 15 years, my husband for about 28

years. We're both getting enough protein and doing fine.

oh, no doubt vegans can eat plenty of protein. My 'probably'

refered more to our ASD kids being pickier eaters; kind of easy to

give them a slab of meat or cheese and call it a day!

I don't know if this applies to this thread, but I started getting

Twinlabs AminoAcids form Swanson Vitamins, at half the cost of on the

shelf prices. If really seems to help me a lot. and no , I am not vegan,

and eat plenty of protein in general, but getitng in the amino acids form

does a lot more for me.

This thread has gone on for a while, so I am going to post this for anyone

who might be interested.

Please don’t beat me up over this, I am only offering to help someone find

good quality meat.

My brother in law who lives in Southern Minnesota raises Cows and Pigs in

small quantities on his farm.

He feeds them directly from what he grows and does not give them hormones or

anti-biotics.

He sells the Beef by the ¼ or ½ and the pigs by the ½..

He lets us know when he is sending them in to be butchered and we call the

butcher shop to make the arrangements.

They ask about thickness of steaks, how many per package, how much burger

per package, etc.

We pick up the meat right from the butcher’s freezer and haul it home.

This works well for us except that ¼ Beef is a LOT of meat and thus a fair

chunk of money all at once.

The good part is that you get ALL the Beef at basically hamburger prices.

If you live in Southern Minnesota and are interested, (and have a large

freezer) email me off list and I will give you his phone number.

I will not and would not make any money on this, so please take this in the

spirit it is intended.

Neil
