Meat

Tipetoo said:
Meat has always been a regular on our plates ever since it came off ration.

As I worked in the meat industry for a long time I have always have had a good supply of meat to enjoy. We still eat a fair amount with veggies and it's never done us any harm.

Most of the "meat is bad for you ****" comes from wacko's like PETA and other politically correct idiots. :meh:

You have had 3 pertinent answers from me, and many others from other people.

The problem is not that you aren't getting good, sensible answers from people who are willing to devote their time and effort to pass on their personal experiences and opinions.

The problem is that you only seem to want specific answers and reject anything else. That isnt how forums work.

If by specific answers you mean answers that are on topic then yes.

Is anyone else reminded of the Month Python "Argument" sketch?

Not really, but I will have a nice roast Goat dinner tonight on the strength of it.

This is the last of the goat meat I put in the freezer several months ago.
 
Meat is fine, so is fish, so is chicken. For me at least
 
Seems like the OP has a bad case of analysis paralysis going on?

As long as you're keeping below a level of carbs that keeps your blood glucose under control - as established by "eat to your meter" - eat whatever you want and to satiety. It's really not rocket science and nobody is going to live forever, no matter what diet they eat.

Ethnographic studies are pretty clear that humans have been eating a wide varieity of macronutrient ratios from whatever food was available to them since time immemorial. Obsessing about food seems to be a peculiarly modern phenomenon.

If health and longevity are your obsession, maybe buy a copy of the book on the Blue Zones - though most of the people who live long lives I'd guess aren't diagnosed diabetics?

Seems that meat is a dominant component of a LCHF diet. Not exclusively, there are some vegeterians i gather.

My question is, do we know that eating a high/higher amount of meat is healthy?

You might not die, but it's 100% certain that someone else has.

Hope someone posts the answer you are looking for soon ;)

I near choked on a piece of steak one night at work, some one give me the Heimlich Maneuver and the bit of meat shot out across the smoko room.

A lesson was learnt not to bite of more that you can chew, in this case not to bite and swallow. :D

You haven't defined what constitutes moderate so, even considering that this is off topic, to make the comment is ultimately going to take us nowhere as we have no idea what is an appropriate amount of protein.

NO I haven't - because the amount of protein I eat is specific to my personal dietary requirements and situation, so won't be of any relevance or use at all to you. No one size fits all, but there are low carb/ketogenic nutritional calculators on-line that would help you work out yours - I have absolutely no way of determining what these might be for you (or anyone else).

Since I more than agree we're going nowhere, there's really nothing further I have to say on this topic.

But it was you that brought up the protein intake. Why mention it at all then if this is your attitude?

What do you define 'healthy' as?
 
I buy my meat mostly from the butcher around the corner - I want meat from animals which grew up well and happy munching on good grass in clean fields along with others of their kind they could trot about with unimpeded. I buy eggs produced by hens which are (usually) free range - the bird flu problem prevents that at the moment - and organic too.
We are well designed to eat meat, it is a natural food for us - what should be considered is how the meat is produced.
I am still grateful that I found that beef smelt wrong at one time - I could detect the muttony smell of cattle fed on sheep, and stopped buying it, so when the CJD news broke I was not as concerned as I might have been.

We probably need more detail than that.
I age every day, simply being alive causes problems for my health.
Do you have any specific concerns?

Claims that meat is bad for the gut/bowel, and that red meat, specifically, might have links to cancer. These are not unusual claims, everyone has heard these

We have evolved as omnivores. I don't think there's any solid argument we have a 'design preference' for meat any more than anything else. I'm not sure that argument holds up. Personally I love meat and would struggle as a vegetarian, though if that's someone's personal choice that's entirely fine
