neither do we salivate over plants or anything else for that matter.

Actually a lot of people do. Conditioning can do a lot, and there is no doubt that everyone who talks about loving rare steak and the like isconditioned to do so. Again, I don't think that's a problem when it occurs in a natural sense, but when meat factories pop up, and people devise ways(undoubtedly evil and cruel ways) to fatten up animals and keep production costs down, that's a problem.

This society conditions and encourages mindless consumption. That's why we have a forum based on the consumption of shoes to discuss the mindlessconsumption of meat and dairy products.

And if you think meat is good for you, do some actual research and find some info. from non-biased sources of information. You can hardly trust the FDA thesedays, so even organizations like that don't count. Guess who funded the infamous food-pyramids back in the 60's that included a good amount of meat. The meat-industry. Comparable to cigarette companies advertising the health benefits of smoking. Again, the point is not to take my word for it, but to findout for yourself.

I did this a while ago due to the haemoglobin, myoglobin, etc. Lots of cancer-causing stuff in there, and it's only compounded by certain cookingprocesses.

I will have a nice steak every now and then though. Rarely though, twice a year at most.

i love red meat, and everything is found to cause cancer nowadays anyways

That's the spirit!

" Red meat increases cancer risk significantly. "

I have quit for the past year and I feel like a brand new man......I'm serious as cancer!

medium rare steak w/ loaded mashed potatoes

I've given up red meat several times, the first time I gave it up for 6 months and every time I played ball I'd noticed that I'd bruise veryeasily, & I didn't have as much stamina in the gym.

I keep red meat in my diet about 1-3 times a week.

Low iron levels....you might be slightly anemic. You can get iron in relatively high doses from other sources besides red meat.

 

[finnns2003]

I try to eat less of it, but I won't throw it out entirely. Dad is the healthiest person I've ever seen, and he consumes red meat.

 

[la213espg]

I chose to give up read meat and don't miss it at all

 

[beautifulloveleal]

I eat red meat here and there but prefer, turkey, chicken and fish. Red meat is good though in moderation

And not just meat, but dairy products as well.

Ungodly amounts of unnatural hormones and drugs are fed to these animals, which in turn are fed to people who consume them.


I don't have any problem with someone living out in the wild, hunting and killing an animal for food with his bare hands. But to see people profit and make millions by finding the cheapest, most cost-efficient ways to grow and fatten up animals is horrendously wrong.


It's amazing how much people don't care about their food, what's in it, and where it comes from. I'd rather know and be responsible than be afraid to find out and (God forbid) change my lifestyle. Everybody responding with negativity, hostility and miserable attempts at humor, give yourselves a round of applause. You're acting exactly how the meat industry wants you to.

ive heard some some gross things about milk, i only drink organic milk now, it does cost more but w/e and it has more benefits like 400% more CLA

J dot yea Joe Cam is right i think about your situation....

 

[joseph camel jr]

I drink organic milk too (thinking about buying raw milk actually), but I've heard mixed reviews on dairy products in general. I don't know, it seemslike half the info that comes out about it is negative reports from PETA, etc. or positive reports from dairy farmer organizations and the like. I'd liketo see some unbiased info.

 

[numba1kickrocka]

I always ask for my steak "Very Well done' I dont see the point of copping bloody food its just nasty

 

[spidermachine916]

YESSS!!! More meat for me. I at least go to Wendy's or jack in the box twice a week... but my job keeps me in shape. Hopefully that balances it.

 

[bigbigt]

seriously.RIP.

how can u survive? u cant just quit red meat... this aint smokin cigs.

 

[deezyvsop]

"I try to eat less of it, but I won't throw it out entirely. Dad is the healthiest person I've ever seen, and he consumes red meat."

What about old uncle Joe who smokes 3 packs a day, he's 80 and still raising hell.

Sorry, that type of reasoning is faulty, no personal attacks here, but there are lots of people completely vegan or vegetarian that are also very healthy.


"how can u survive? u cant just quit red meat... this aint smokin cigs."

There are numerous posts that directly contradict, even falsify your reasoning. Tell me, if we can't survive without not only red meat, but meat ingeneral, what's in it that sustains us? Please tell me you know what is in meat that keeps us alive and healthy. Because if you know that, you must knowabout the chemicals and drugs that are fed to these animals, which is then transferred to their meat, to your kitchen and then your body.

What are you basing that on? Your appearance, or what a doctor tells you about your cholesterol, body fat and blood pressure? Your waistline orthe build up of fatty tissues in your arteries?

The great majority of people can not regularly eat fast food and maintain good health. Some people certainly can, but not the great majority.

 

[alejanz28]

havnet eaten red meat or pork since 95.

 

[rko2004]

Well you could just mix your diet up. Just eat it sparingly.

And whats up with scientist tracing cancer to everything? The sun causes cancer. Cell phones causes cancer. Whats next?

Virtually everything in excess will cause serious health problems, including eating red meat. It's not a conspiracy, it's just the factsof life.

 

[tupac jordan]

When eating red meat you must consume 2 bottles of wine to cancel out the cancer.
