The "lean" and "very lean" minced beef here is more expensive than the regular (20% fat) minced beef. It's true here that a lot of the stores don't even sell the 20% fat stuff. However, I don't think it's necessary to worry about the fat content of meat.tesco's minced beef with the most fat i could find was 11g fat/100g
tescos chicken thighs+skin are 17g/100g.
Fatty meat is not easy to find these days. Butchers might supply it but most butchers don't tell you how much fat is in the product, and are unfortuantely very expensive.
I'm sure it would be sufficient. There's nothing in plants that is not in meat that is required by humans. Otherwise, nobody would be able to survive on an all-meat diet.I eat primarily chicken+skin, with some pork for breakfast. I'm not sure that would be sufficient without plants to supplement.
I must say i don't really have a taste for beef, and try as I might liver, while heavily nutritious, is just 'orrible!
What was the question?www.bbc.co.uk/education/guides/z2m39j6/revision/6
This is very simplistic summary illustrating the loss of energy each time one organism consumes another. As I have said before some land cannot be used for growing crops and therefore a limited amount of the energy available in the grass can be transferred to the tissue of e.g. cattle and beef becomes a human food source. I hope this answers your question. However, the energy needs of many of the world's people is being met at the producer (plant) level and eating meat is a rare option.
I've already answer this questionSo your reason for starting the thread was?
That's the point of contention, and I'm not entirely sure how true it is. perhaps someone can clarifyI'm sure it would be sufficient. There's nothing in plants that is not in meat that is required by humans. Otherwise, nobody would be able to survive on an all-meat diet.
If someone can name something that is in plants and not in meat that humans need, I'd like to know what that is. If there is something that is in plants and not in meat that humans need, how do people who do not eat any plant derived foods survive?That's the point of contention, and I'm not entirely sure how true it is. perhaps someone can clarify

No, I haven't, but I have no symptoms of calcium deficiency. But I never said I ate only muscle meat. I said I only eat animal based food, which includes dairy, eggs, and seafood. People who only eat muscle meat seem to do fine, though.If you only ate meat i.e. muscle tissue from animals and birds and no fish, shellfish, dairy or eggs, you would become calcium deficient over time. Have you had your Ca levels tested recently?

I have digestive issues mostly caused by fruits and veggies. No issues with protein and fats. It really stinks as I love all veggies but have to keep portions quite small. I digest them better when eaten alone but then I’m starving. I need 80% fat to feel good.
Hi, in your first post on this thread you said that you ate 'meat only'. Much I what I have posted since has been in response to that statement. However, it would seem that you have an animal-based diet with the occasional bit of plant! Now things make more sense.
You forgot the methane emissions on top of (or bottom of) the Co2, and which is more aggressive in ozone depletion and global warming. However, cattle can feed off silage, which is something I cannot do. A spinach smoothy is closest I can get to that, and even that is unhealthy for me.I drnk coffee and occasionally have wine or spirits. I even go off the rails sometimes and eat non-zero carb food, but not very ofcten.
What do you mean "can eat this way"? I don't think I have any special physiological adaptations compared to other people.
I think it might be difficult to quantify the environmental costs of meat versus plant foods. You'd have to take into account the conditions where the food is produced (e.g. the chemicals used to control weeds, the energy spent planting and harvesting, the effect of irrigation),the amount of wastage (more than half of fruit/veg don't make it to a plate, from what I've read), the energy spent storing and shipping it it thousands of miles (in my case from California and farther), etc. My guess is that the way I eat comes out ahead as it's all local (no more than 100 miles or so) and the cattle eat mostly grass on land that is not suitable to grow anything else. You'll most likely be able to find vegan propaganda that says otherwise, though.
I look forward to an explanation of what no carb eating looks like on a daily basis, as I have no idea and would like to know how it works out in terms of menu and portions. I would be grateful if you can educate me.Do you know what a zero carb way of eating involves?
Sure although it was directed more at the Doc...I look forward to an explanation of what no carb eating looks like on a daily basis, as I have no idea and would like to know how it works out in terms of menu and portions. I would be grateful if you can educate me.
Yes, "meat" in the zero carb world is just short-hand for animal derived food. Sorry about the confusion. However, there are zero carbers that do just eat muscle meat and are healthy after many years of eating this way.Hi, in your first post on this thread you said that you ate 'meat only'.
