Wild game meat
Venison and other wild-harvested meat as the main protein source
Meat from wild or wild-harvested animals, venison most often, eaten in place of farmed beef, pork and chicken. It is leaner than most commercial red meat and high in protein per calorie. Supply is the practical limit: hunting takes time, and mail-order costs more per pound than the supermarket.
