You failed to master your emotions. They have mastered you.

Meat is murder.

But seriously, why would anyone not eat bacon or assorted beef steaks?

To remain healthy for as long a period as possible.

These are from the results of studies done by major research institutions, and published in peer review medical journals. They represent only a few dozen of the hundreds of studies that all conclude the same thing, eating animal products is bad.

"Harvard studies of 37,698 men and 83,644 women, over 22 and 30 years, respectively, found red meat to increase total mortality rates and cancer mortality rates."

"One of the largest studies ever links meat consumption with increased overall death, death by cancer, and death by cardiovascular disease.
Notes: Study followed 500,000 people over 10 years."


1.) Neu5Gc is found only in animal meat. Neu5Gc appears to have a strong link to cancer and heart disease.
2.) Top 15 foods for advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are all meat sourced with roasted BBQ chicken skin and fried bacon being the top.

AGEs are gerontotoxins (aka aging toxins). AGEs cause proteins to cross together causing stiffness, oxidation stress, and inflammation in muscles, brain tissue, eyes, heart, bone, red blood cells, and kidneys. Thought to contribute to muscle loss as we age.
3.) Arachidonic acid (naturally found in animal foods) is linked to brain inflammation, depression, anxiety, and stress.
4.) Chicken and eggs are the top sources of arachidonic acid.
5.) A single meal of high-fat animal products has been shown to spike inflammation within hours that can stiffen one’s arteries.
6.) High-fat animal products consumed will cause inflammation within the lungs.
7.) Significant levels of bacterial toxins are found in animal products that cause endotoxemia (bacterial toxins in the bloodstream) within hours of eating.
8.) Bacteria endotoxins from animal products have been shown to survive high heat cooking for long periods, acid (like our stomachs), and digestive enzymes.
9.) Endotoxins have a strong affinity for the fat transport system in our digestive tract.
10.) Even wild, grass consuming animals cause inflammation in our bodies.
11.) Dietary fat of animal origin is linked to pancreatic cancer.
12.) The chicken has been linked to urinary tract infections.
13.) Half an egg a day or more is shown to double the odds of mouth, throat, esophageal, prostate, and bladder cancer; triple the odds of colon and breast cancer.

14.) 47% of U.S. retail meat tested is contaminated with staph (Staphylococcus) bacteria. Multidrug resistant strains were common.
15.) Eating meat just a few times a month greatly increases the chances of abdominal aortic aneurysm.
16.) One of the longest-running studies showed meat consumption to increase allergies. This included asthma, bee stings, drug allergies, and hayfever.
17.) Even small amounts of meat consumption less than once a week is linked to degenerative arthritis.
18.) Meat, fish, cheese, and general animal protein intake have been associated with an increased risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Absent some sort of real health issue, males who don't eat meat need to be culled (they aren't men, so I won't call them that).

I could give a fk less what other people do,mind your own business.

What the actual Frick, man. That kind of “ stay out of other people’s business “ is what’s ruining this damn country. What’s next, are people going to stop being furious when a grown man rides a bike ? You see the slippery slope here man ? Pretty soon the whole system will collapse if people don’t get all up in the grill of people who make different choices.

also, the amount of people (women) that say they don’t like red meat but like chicken astonishes me too.

Why?

Who GAF? Bacteria won't resist the right internal temperature. I don't use drugs to make the meat safe to eat, I use a grill.

one of my buddies dated a girl who would say "oh I'm a vegetarian. I'll eat steak, though"
