It ain't me. Beef prices are high as giraffe pussy. I'd eat more beef if I could afford it.

That's interesting, and just 6% of Americans are responsible for over half of this country's violent crime.

Indeed, an overwhelming number of studies find that consuming red and processed meats can contribute to heart disease, cancer, diabetes and premature death


The heart disease and diabetes claim probably has more to do with the fact that red-meat eaters are statistically more likely to be overweight or obese. Consumption of red meat doesn’t directly lead to higher rates of cancer or heart disease. Obesity does.

Red meat consumption itself isn’t dangerous at all. The problem is that people like to overeat red meat products which causes them to gain a shite ton of weight.

I don’t believe this for a second. They do the same BS with gun owners trying to paint it as a small minority of people who like them so they can justify the push to get rid of it. I don’t know a single person who doesn’t eat beef

I take the Ron Swanson approach here

Exactly. Statistic leads people to believe not many people eat beef.

You have 4 main sources of protein

1. Beef
2. Pork
3. Chicken
4. Seafood

Which based on the article since 12% eat 50% of beef that day, and assuming the other 50% is eaten by a larger percentage with smaller portions, that means at least 30-40% of people eat beef each day, likely more than any of the 3 other sources of protein.

Are they going to treat us like they treat other 12% minorities or are they going to kill us for their agenda?

60 lbs is a bunch of beef.


I eat a 20oz ribeye every Sunday night. Not including burgers, tacos, sloppy joes, quesadillas, fajitas, etc I make.

I’ll say this I bought half a side of a cow and it was gone in 8 months. Just me and the wife and she doesn’t eat near what I do. Example if I cook 1lb ground beef for tacos she eats 1 taco I eat 4-5 tacos

wanna know how eating 4 ounces of red meat every day is better than eating a 12 ounce steak every 3 days


It doesn’t say 4oz of red meat. It says 4 oz of beef, poultry and eggs. Which is ludicrous

That’s basically half a burger or a couple chicken wings a day

Those below the age of 29 and above the age of 66 were least likely to eat large amounts of beef. Rose said this indicated that the younger generation might be more interested in mitigating the effects of climate change.
