How often do you eat meat?

[CleverCover]

Almost with every meal. The few exceptions are when I'm too lazy to make anything more than cereal for breakfast.

Bacon is just lovely.

 

[Randomperson9999999]

pretty much twice a day

 

[Ensiferum]

At least once or twice a day.

 

[marblemadness]

I eat at least one meal with meat in it per day (usually dinner)

 

[Amishdemon]

er'yday

I'm Australian, i eat meat with almost every dinner. My GF is a vegetarian, but her family all eat meat too.

I sometimes eat meat with lunch.

At the moment I am eating a chicken sandwich (for breakfast).

 

[Varitel]

Usually twice a day, for lunch and dinner. Though, on those rare occasions when I get a serious business breakfast, there's usually some sausages or bacon in there somewhere.

 

[JMV]

Almost every day, I would say. I try to have a balanced diet, but, yeah... I have, however, cut back on the fast food and 1-upped on grill and such. A lot of white meats, too. That's gotta count for something.

So, almost every day, I guess.

 

[hooksashands]

Everytime I can. Animals taste great.

 

[Blue_vision]

If my current hopes prove fulfilled, I won't eat meat again.

Badum.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

Heh.

But seriously, everyday. I don't know why, but I just can't feel... full without meat at some point in the day. Weird, but I need some form of beef to call it a day.

this person speaketh the truth!

you can't just have that perfect day without letting your teeth conquer a nice piece of meat,period.


OT: US here, and usually 2-3 times a day (yes, a day, i fucking love meat)


preferrably a nice new york strip medium rare with some A1 on the side...

*drools*

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.

 

[Superior Mind]

Usually bacon sandwiches for lunch and one meat serving for dinner. So a decent amount.

 

[dogenzakaminion]

Hardly ever. I eat quite a bit of fish and other sea food but if I eat meat it's coming from a family farm (not a farm that my family owns, a farm that rears animals in a healthy way). Not against eating meat, just against factory farming.

Also, I know fish is technically meat and bycatch is a big problem in the fishing industry but I have to eat something. Plus I live in Norway so finding river caught fish is not hard.

I could eat meat all goddamn day. As my t-shirt clearly indicates,

That's really clever. Maybe I should get one too, to go with my shirt that says "I didn't colonise Africa to give black people their rights."

 

[Treefingers]

As of three weeks ago, not at all. Recently turned vegetarian.

EDIT:

Totally agree with you there. I hear this kind of reasoning everywhere, and it's a really poor excuse for an argument.

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

 

[iamyourjesus]

It's not a proper meal with out meat.

 

[Apollo45]

Daily. It's odd if I don't have some sort of meat for at least two meals per day, and often it's three per.

The best meat is the meat you kill yourself though. Elk, dove, pheasant, wild boar, goose, duck... Ya, meat is awesome.

This is what I was essentially getting at with my post though. There has never been any study which has shown a link between eating high amounts of fat from meat and diseases like heart disease. In fact, it's fairly clear now that the major cause of things like heart disease and clogged arteries is actually carbohydrates. Sugar and modern wheat being the bigger culprits. Eating a lot of fat won't even make you gain weight, something which is once again caused by over eating carbs resulting in blood glucose spiking and the body being forced to release insulin to store the excess glucose as fat.

Eating a high fat diet (as the USDA would define it anyway) is not bad for you. In fact, animal fats are pretty essential to proper brain function. The idea that eating a high fat diet is bad came about during the 60's with the McGovern committee. But their dietary recommendations (which became the recommendations of the US government) weren't based on good science.

As to the issue of the cooking process producing compounds that have a correlation with increased rates of cancer, I have heard this before (including the claim that it's not an issue if you don't overcook meat) but I'm not familiar enough with any of the actual studies showing it to really comment on whether or not the claim carries any real weight. The thing is, as I'm sure you know, that correlation does not necessarily mean one thing causes another, and there is a lot of bad science that crops up again and again in the field of nutrition.
