Meat is the New Tobacco

[Jenksismyhero]

Lol, yeah that was a poor argument. Wasn't there something in the last few years about red meat lowering cholesterol?

I don't know. A 20 year study of 110,000 adults seems pretty convincing (referring to the article Steve posted).

Here is my own "science". I had a friend peer review this "science", so it's now fact. Oh, it's also called common sense.

 

Red meat is bad for you IF consumed in too high of a quantity (note: moderation rears it's ugly head again)

 

...just like breathing is probably bad for you, unless you live in the middle of no-where, far outside of a City, unless you find a way to moderate how much you have to breathe.

 

Where you like to murder helpless plants, trees, and other totally harmless life, I prefer to kill only things that can defend themselves, which can look me in the eye. So unless you start eating a bunch of Venus fly traps, or other flesh eating plants, you're nothing more than a two-bit murderous thug that picks on helpless life that can't defend itself, nor see you coming.

I don't know of one specifically off the top of my head, just seems like there are studies on red meat all the time.

LOL, I really doubt there's been a legitimate study linking red meat to good health effects.

That was the point of my original post. How many people consume one hotdog (or some other similarly processed red meat - fast food)... ONE HOT DOG a day to be moderation?

 

Because that s*** is killing people!

When study participants followed a DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet—which encourages lean meats, low-fat dairy, whole grains, and fruits and vegetables—and consumed 4 to 5.4 ounces of lean beef a day in place of chicken or fish, their levels of harmful LDL cholesterol decreased by about 10 percent. Those results are the same as the regular DASH group.

 

That paragraph is ridiculous on many levels, mostly the final sentence which shows red meat had no health benefits over anything else whatsoever. It's the incredibly strict diet.

Those 2 studies aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. The lower cholesterol one was looking at a very specific case...a certain, controlled amount of red meat intake while on a certain diet including whole grains and exercise and looking only at cholesterol numbers compared with a larger study of mortality in general while not on that diet.

Exactly.

The health benefit of red meat is it tastes yummy if cooked and seasoned properly. :9 That makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside, and that calms my nerves...which soothes my soul...all of which has to have some sort of mental or physical benefit.

Eggs lower cholesterol. Oddly enough. Red meat, not so much.

The sad thing is, for most people, it's not the high-quality, big steaks that get them in trouble, it's the fast food.

Yes, and that's the worst part about this... the straight up steak is at 13%, while the processed garbage is 29%.

[StrangeSox]

Which study are you referring to?

 

McDonald, King et. al

I suppose if you consume meat at the rate of your average obese American then yes.. yes it is unhealthy.

i've not had a single chicken nugget since seeing that and i probably never will again.

 

so gross.

Not that I eat fast food or processed food very often, but that photo doesn't bother me at all. I'd be more concerned if it was something I ate on a daily basis, however.

 

Edit: It doesn't deter me from eating future Chicken Nuggets, for example.

 

Half of you have probably gone down on girls worse than that pic...but I'm guessing that didn't stop you. Pigs.

Maybe these other guys. Hairy roast beef is a no go for me.

 

Besides I don't attempt to get my nutrition from anything pink.

Eating an awesome tasting steak isn't about nutrition...

 

Nor is eating something pink.
