well I’m Baptist and having haddock, big honking haddock, with fries and coleslaw, Italian bread and real butter
Protein and fat from healthy animals should be 80% of most human diets. For health and great moods. However, I’m ok with freedom of choice: everyone should be able to eat what they want.
Any food correlated with wealth ‘extends’ life. People who eat caviar and lobster also live longer.
I just read the excerpt you provided...astonishing, isn’t it? I was surprised in the difference in leg length, not just overall height.
And skydiving, scuba diving, pit bulls, base jumping, and more than anything else GRAVITY.
Thankfully, the meat that I eat comes from the butcher. I prefer to prepare and cook what I eat rather than eat.
As usual many if not most who have commented have not bothered to follow the link to the article. The last paragraph says, ““Our take home message from the paper is that meat-eating is beneficial to human health provided that it is consumed in moderation and that the meat industry is conducted in an ethical way.”
Who knows what is being referred to regarding the ethics of the “meat industry”? It seems that the author believes that bacon is only good for you if the pigs are allowed to roam freely on the fruited plain or in the mountains, before they are slaughtered and cut into delicious thin slices of goodness. There is absolutely nothing in the actual “paper” that the article is based on about the “ethics of the meat industry”.
But the other part of the “take home message” that “meat-eating is beneficial to human health provided that it is consumed in moderation” does appear to capture the gist of a large part of the “paper”. The “paper” is not advocating for an all-meat diet or saying that the more meat that you eat... the longer you will live. It simply is stating that a diet with meat included tends to be associated with better health and longevity than a vegetarian diet.
In this thread we find the usual list of suspects who constantly advocate for diets that are any actual nutritionist’s worst nightmare, claiming that this article justifies their idiotic choices. No! The article does not say that you should only eat meat. The article says that including meat in your diet is associated with better health and longevity than diets that do not include meat.
To most of us who are a little older this is obvious after seeing what happened to long term friends and family members who chose to be vegetarians decades ago. But in the lefty world this is not obvious, and their leaders are currently advocating for eliminating lovable cows, pigs, chickens, and other delicious farm animals from our diets. Lately they have been using global warming and other nonsense to declare war on all meat production.
So am I, I like fish, especially salmon and flounder, grouper, mahi-mahi...............................
Nutrition and environmental conditions during growing can greatly affect the end result of an organism.
Anyone smarter than a fence post has to wonder why our evil leaders want to "vaccinate" all of our children with the clot-shot shortly after birth.
A vegetable diet is a slave diet. You can’t carry enough food on a horse to get very far if you only have vegetables. You can jerk meat and carry enough protein to avoid the overseers for weeks and escape. Vegetarianism is just another method to control people.
“Cured” meat...meat mixed with nitrates, sweeteners, and/or milk products.
What about the highly processed veggies made to look and taste like meat.
If I want the taste of MEAT I will eat Beef, pork, chicken,deer.
Do any of the meat processors make meat taste like veggies? NO!
B12 deficiency is not good. causes very serious diseases
Yup I only buy from my local grass fed or free range growers and ranchers
Eating bacon is what separates us from the animals.
My favorite meal is a big steak, french fries, some pasta on the side, and a large slice of cheesecake for dessert. I can’t eat that meal, though, because the steak makes me fat.
Agree with you there (re: fake meat.)
Drop the pasta and the cheesecake and your good to go...........
Not buying it. The Japanese live long lives and not by binging on steak.
