I actually get into fights here and there with people who want to feed me nitrite laden meats. I am aghast they would pile my plate with it, a polite no thanks doesn't work in that situation... people always get offended when you won't eat their food. 'What, not good enough for you eh?"

I always tell them 'ask me again in 10 years.' Unbelievable some of the garbage people call food.

I'd stay away from the beef liver too. Think about the role your own plays.

And yeah, a bad meal will hurt me for a couple weeks. Lots of fruit smoothies and fiber is my cure but it takes time. Vitamin C to help oxidative stress. Add dandelion salads and try eating aloe to flush it out. Lamb chops with garlic and fennel is great, one of my favorites, always feel good after that.
