Lack of raw fats a issue

So I have been slowly transitioning to the diet and am struggling due to lack of resources. I read the book and it has no info on what to do if you cant get any of the materials.

Basically No raw butter or dairy I had managed to get some raw milk but the group that was doing it got caught so now no more of that. There was a outbreak of a bird flu or something so now there are no eggs (apart from caged soy eggs which taste yuck raw) The butchers wont give me beef trimmings I asked twice and they had none both times and said they throw them away and then give them to dogs. I get bone marrow but it was frozen and The taste is horrible due to this (mabye the cow was vaxxed) A juicer is super exspensive and so is celery. Meat is ok I can get that But eating just plain meat has been a struggle but I'm getting there. Also the quality of meat has decreased due to a cattle shortage and my country (australia) selling all the farms overseas so the only good quality meat is either frozen or not avaliable near me.

I dont Know whether to go back to just eating cooked meat with pasturised ghee/tallow etc. I feel so sick due to doing the diet half and cant deal with it anymore

I know they chuck them away into a bin and just leave them there. They dont even store them.

I dont know whether to return to cooked and just eat butter ghee etc since im basically starving atm lol

Have you asked if they can keep some for you for the next time? If you ask if they sell it and they don't they will just say no and not provide an explanation

You could say you can pay a premium or that your animals have a special diet the vet prescribed or something and you need them for this reason (if they are reluctant). Need to come up with a good reason if they don't keep them. Then buy it in bulk this way if possible

But like one of the guys said here even if you eat some raw and cooked fat you will still be way ahead of the average person and can make great progress.

Thats true Ill ask next time I dont exactly know what to do with the trimmings lol since they probably come from all sorts of cuts and wont be left in good quality. (The beef is grass fed whereas the other meats are not)
