How often do you eat meat?

[Quaidis]

I have pondered eating less meat in my most recent life. And I have changed my breakfast into more vegetarian things such as oatmeal. But meat makes up most of my life.

Tomorrow I'm going to eat a blood and tongue sausage sandwich =D



I have yet to be in Australia, but if you go to Poland, most people eat meat all the time, all meals. You can get sick of meat there after a point.

This thread could use a poll, but I eat meat 1-2 times a day. Usually for dinner but sometimes also for lunch rarely for breakfast. Although when I was in college I'd eat bacon for breakfast almost every day I don't know how I didn't get fat.

Almost everyday, the only thing better then a perfectly ripened melon is a well cooked hunk of meat (That sounded FAR less suggestive in my head).

And just to rain on everyone's parade stay on topic, people who gloat about how much meat you eat are really annoying and immature. We get it, you love eating animals, no need to boast all day about it.

I agree people like that are almost as annoying as the vegans who seem to think they're shit's made of gold just because they don't drink milk.

Seeing as I can only get meat from pigs, no. I mean, you punch the pigs and... poof bacon.

Thus I grow wheat to survive on this island.

I eat meat every day if I can. Usually I only eat it for dinner because while a big juicy burger is better than a pb and j, it takes a lot longer to make, unless you go fast food but I don't consider that meat to be too healthy.

2) because it's not the healthiest thing to do and I honestly much prefer a nice piece of fish.

Contrary to what the USDA would like people to believe, eating red meat is not unhealthy.

It's actually the cooking process that most of these meats go through that's the issue.

Cooking red meats and fish under high temperatures creates heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Which have a confirmed correlation with cancers.

Luckily for me, I eat my red meat blue and my fish very undercooked or completely raw.

But besides that, red meat has a high fat content, especially the higher quality it is. (Ever heard of marbling?) So eating red meat isn't as healthy as something like chicken which has a relatively low fat content.

just curious, what is "read meat blue" mean?


never heard of it before, and just curious by what you mean.

I said I eat my read meat blue. Blue is just a way the meat is cooked. Think rare.... only rarer.

lol yeah woops i had a typo, but you got what i meant

and yum, i love my meat nice and bloody...which you are saying it's a good thing to eat it decently rare? or its bad and you should cook it until it's a fucking rock

Definitely don't cook till it's a rock.

Raw meat (especially red) contains a lot of creatine which, when consumed, is linked with helping memory and cognitive functions.

When you subject natural creatine, like that found in meat, to intense heat. It transforms into heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Which are basically carcinogens.

So the more you cook a piece of meat, the more of these carcinogens you consume.

So on base logic, the rarer you eat your red meat. The better. I'm just highlighting that because cooking white meat rare has it's own issues. Pork and chicken don't have to be well done per-sey. But rare isn't such a smart idea.

Most fish can be eaten completely raw, like a good piece of steak if you so choose, but I'd consult some cookery books on that. It's kinda seen as a little risky if you're not all that familiar with fish preparation.

I like cooking, so I read up on a lot of this sort of stuff.

ah i see, yeah i knew that about chicken but i wasn't sure about red meat, which is thankfully good as i love having my meat still bloody/tender, so all the better reason for me to be eating it rare.

plus better amounts of creatine sounds good to me, goin to the gym every day can only help that cause.

unfortunately i have never liked fish (i might someday..i've had some surprising changes with my taste buds as of late) but i love to fish, so usually i go fishing and will bring back 4-5 fish for the family and then i'll get a new york strip from the market and cook that for myself.

anyways, thanks for clearing that up, people always used to get mad and say eating it rare was bad.

I was on the Dukin diet a while ago(and I'm starting again soon for summer.) which is a protein diet without carbs. And it mentioned how well done steak is harder to digest, making your body get less energy out of it which meant it was slimming. It was a good diet. I lost 25 kgs. I'm running it again in the hopes of getting to a flat stomach or maybe just a little potbelly. I was eating beef, chicken and fish. In my experience red meat can be very slimming. (except pork. Is that a red meat anyway?) it's all in how you cook it and what part of the animal your eating.

Double post.

 

[MadBlueWinnie]

Why, everyday of course. Usually 2-3 meals, maybe even 4 (for a good morning snack can't go wrong with a sausage roll and sauce)

 

[Mcupobob]

When ever walks into my mouth.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Maybe not everyday but certainly every week.

 

[Treefingers]

I would say pretty much everyday (including fish). A friend of mine (who is not too smart) decided that she would become a vegetarian as she thought it was healthier. I struck her. I struck her good.

Here is some scientific literature for you to read, courtesy of The American Dietetic Association:

"Vegetarian diets tend to be lower in saturated fat and cholestrol, and have higher levels of dietary fiber, magnesium and potassium, vitamins C and E, folate, carotenoids, flavonoids, and other phytochemicals.

Vegetarian diets are often associated with a number of health advantages, including lower blood cholestrol levels, lower risk of heart disease [as a side note, heart disease accounts for more than 25% of annual deaths in the USA], lower blood pressure levels, and lowever risk of hypertension and type two diabetes. Vegetarians tend to have a lower body mass index (BMI) and lower overall cancer rates [a further 25% of annual deaths in the USA]."

They also note that a well planned vegetarian diet is suitable for all individuals during all stages of life including infancy/pregnancy/adolescence and for athletes, and that vegetarians easily meet and exceed protein requirements.

Also, other data suggests excess animal protein intake is linked to osteoporosis, kidney disease, calcium stones in the urinary tract and some cancers.

Not sure if sarcastic, or racist.
And "we" (The Europeans) never really colonized Africa. All the slaves were PoWs that were sold.

Wow. I thought eating meat was meant to aid brain development. Anyway, I'm just going to eat my pine nuts and laugh at you.

 

[Noctius]

every meal of every day of every week of every month of every year... does that make me a bad person?

 

[aescuder]

Definitely everyday. I'm a growing man-child after all.

 

[The_Amazing_G]

I definitely eat meat everyday. I don't understand why some vegetarians consider chicken and fish not meat... They are both animals and are full of proteins that are characteristic of meat. so I consider them as meat in my comment.

 

[Denamic]

Pretty much daily.
Not always for dinner, but I do love me some sausages on me sammiches.

 

[game-lover]

All the time. I need my flesh.

I think I eat meat at least twice a day every day.

 

[Clive Howlitzer]

Assuming you are taking about all meats, not just red meat, I eat it every single day. I don't eat red meat very often but I do eat a lot of chicken and fish.

 

[henchman4life]

Everyday but Sunday.
