Yes, there's nothing like the real thing, which is the way nature intended. Real whole foods contain not only the proteins, fats, in their natural form, but the numerous vitamins, minerals, and co-enzymes / cofactors that complement the absorption, nutritional value, etc. But today, many foods that we consider the 'real thing' have been extensively altered, sprayed, genetically modified, etc. Glyphosate / Roundup herbicide has to be the single most devastating aspect to modern food since consuming it will kill off your intestinal bacteria / microbiome, with devastating effects on one's health. Glyphosate was originally patented by Monsanto as an antibiotic to kill microorganisms, but they found that it also kills plant / weeds via the same mechanism (Shikamate pathway).
It would be great to grow your own food, which is what my cousin does out in Oklahoma. They grow almost all their own vegetables, raise chickens, and hunt and fish the local streams and lakes. I warned him about eating venison, since that can contain a weird misfolded protein, similar to what causes 'mad cow' disease, which can also be a problem with elk meat. He eats a lot of bison though, which is an excellent beef alternative. I've also been eating bison for years, usually ~ 2 oz mixed in with the scrambled eggs, and also 2 additional oz of organic beef or chicken in the evening, so plenty of protein when you include the eggs. I remember you saying that you are on a keto type diet, so you must be very familiar with the protein side of eating :o) Still need a lot of veggies though, while avoiding most fruits, although avocados are extremely healthy and no sugar.
