I find its easier and safer to butcher animals and sell whats left of them. That way I wont starve either.

But meat is rather heavy. The point of a currency is something light, liquid and relatively valuable. I think the only thing that fulfill this is silk clothing, but coins so far, do not.
Is it? My adventurer can hold a ton of meat before slowing down. Does strength factor into that? I usually make adventurers as strong as possible.

Indeed strength is a huge factor. I usually play as peasants with avg strength so meat can really slow me down

This is true, however most players do play as a strong demigod and as such its clearly an advantage. If not then you should know what to do anyway by trial and error heh.

At the beginning of my current game, I bought a stack of 97 saguaro fruits. They weighed 2U. I'm a month and a half in and I still have ~40.
