A guess is that you were iron deficient. People with iron deficiency will develop a nearly uncontrollable urge to eat things ranging from ice chips to steaks to rocks. These are not psych patients mind you, but normal people whose reptile brains are sending them signals that they can't really interpret but which are nonetheless very hard to stave off.BigGuy wrote: ↑Mon Nov 19, 2018 4:10 pm More years ago than I care to remember, in college. I'd been living on rice and oatmeal for weeks. I finally got a little money and went an bought a couple of steaks. I was getting ready to cook them when suddenly I just grabbed one and started eating it raw. I hadn't planned to, but I just couldn't stop myself. I cooked the other one, and haven't eaten raw meat since. I don't know exactly what came over me, and I wondered about it.

Re: Ever Eaten Raw Beef?
Grind your own from steak that has been aged. Dry aging beef will root out contaminated meat (vs cooking to kill the pathogens). I'm pretty permissive with food safety, but eating uncooked preground beef puts a lot of faith in a meat packing industry that was putting its faith in you to cook thir product.
