As u can see,due to the biting inflation and high cost of meats in Abuja and it environs.

Three of us decided to go to Keffi this morning to buy a cow worth 320k and we shared it. At least this will see us through the year end.

Below are the pictures.

Through the year end? It's like you don't eat meat much, I prefer fish to meat and it's healthier.

A lot cheaper than buying those little expensive chunks from Meat sellers.

That portion looks small though. Considering the attendant stress that comes with your choice, I would rather buy in kilograms from the market.

This is quite small sha, buying in kilos would have been much cheaper.

Ice fish isn't healthier than fresh meat.

Most of those fishes, stay in cold rooms for over 7 months, during which power failure, faulty generators...etc would affect it's texture, thus making them unfit for consumption.

I read somewhere that the lifespan of frozen fish shouldn't exceed 5 months. Unfortunately, in Nigeria, there is no authority to enforce that law so merchants can even store their imported fishes for up to a year, meaning it would exceed it's shelf life by the time it gets to the retailers and then consumers like you and I.

So technically, we're eating poison. May God save us.

Croaker fish and catfish is farmed here in Nigeria. Infact, catfish are sold life. So they're fresh.

I'm talking about fishes that are imported and stored in cold rooms.

We had to put just some on the table.

Imported fishes are risky, the method of preservation are carcinogenic . We don't do them in our house.

U can cry if want to.

I earn in naira and spend in naira.

I hope the butchers did not cheat you because those 3 heaps of meat combined is not up to ¼ of that average sized cow I'm seeing there

Cry for what?

Fish been healthier than meat is subjective.

I didn't know whole cow was this cheap. Smart move OP.

You mean this cow, this is all the meat from it or you you and your guys shared 1/3 of the cow

The cut to size meat on that sack looks too small to be the entire cow

Do you have other alternatives to alternate with this? I doubt if this can see you through the year.

Those aren't any better. Have you thought about the amount of chemicals these fish-pond-bred catfish are laced with? Their food, vaccine and fattening vitamins are very much laced either toxins. Smoked catfish aren't better because smoking is not a healthy choice for humans.

Same with the locally bred ones.

Juliearth:





Same with the locally bred ones.

I deal mainly on dried cat fishes and fresh ones for pepersoup. The locally bred ones is still safer because it won't have to undergo some kind of preservation processes which is dangerous to our health

Are the dried ones not roasted initially? Roasted foods are not so save, you know. The vitamins and food they ate while alive is another risk factor. Animal foods are loaded with preservatives and chemicals that are quite harmful to the human body.

layzie:

Local chickens.

IconicR:
Through the year end? It's like you don't eat meat much, I prefer fish to meat and it's healthier.

What's the meaning of this?

Both fish and meat gives protein,

So what do you mean?

What other health benefits comes from fish and not from meat?
