for some reason, i can't get enough red meat lately, which is becoming a burden to the grocery budget. (i also hate this because cows are cute.) i made grilled steak skewers for dinner tonight, and i was literally salivating while assembling them. do i have some sort of iron or nutrient deficiency? or is red meat just that darn tasty!? i think i need rehab.

    I think a red meat detox is in order, I'd suggest the 80/10/10 diet or 30 bananas a day diet

    ^^This, just because, ya' know, cow cuteness is a reason to deprive yourself of a delicious protein source.

    I used to be the same way until I watched this documentary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce4DJh-L7Ys&feature=plcp

    I went from Atkins diet (eating nothing but meat) to Vegetarian the second I watched it. That was two and half years ago and I haven't had any desire to eat meat since.

    Our bodies tend to crave what we need, so you may be a bit low on iron. And cows may be cute, but they are stupid. Take it from someone who owns about 60 of them. No guilt there, believe me.
    ETA: Meat is murder. Tasty, tasty murder.

    Cows are there because we eat them and/or use their milk, no guilt required.

    Is there really a need to say something so horrible? :huh: Since when does stupidity equate to a life form being deserving of murder? I know a lot of very stupid people, but sure wouldn't eat them. What a dumb-*kitten* comment to make.

    I would eat stupid people. I've read that the protein in human muscle has a high level of bioavailability.

    Animals and people are not the same at all. Talk about a dumb-*kitten* comment. Killing animals is in no way shape or form, murder. I eat meat because its good. I dont care if they are cute or how bad it makes some people feel. I will walk through a chicken farm eating a bucket of KFC.

    Humans aren't animals? LOL :laugh: What planet are you living on? Would you eat meat fresh and raw off the bone of an animal you'd bothered to kill yourself, like a real carnivore?

    We have evolved slightly since then.

    Hell yes to the rest of it though. Get me on that 'kill it, cook it, eat it'. Tasty. :tongue:

    I have actually done this, and no, it didn't make me sick like some dolts claim it will. What makes you sick is eating raw meat that has had time to accumulate bacteria in the natural process of decomposition.

    You just have to watch the blood consumption. That will make you nauseous pretty quickly, but it does the same thing to pretty much any animal, short of some carnivorous fish who can actually live in blood.

    My point is that most people would never dream of doing this as it wouldn't taste good. Humans cook and season their meat to make it palatable...what other species does that? We evolved from apes and they thrive on a plant based diet. Vegans display extremely low rates of disease & the longest living populations on the planet eat very little meat.

    Just sayin'.

    You know what else it's associated with? Being jacked as ****. Show me someone who doesn't eat red meat that can deadlift more than 800 lbs., and I'll kiss your *kitten*. Oh, that's right, my lips are safe, as they don't exist anymore. People used to be able to get great results with whole milk, but that's just as illegal as pot in the US now.

    I didn't quit smoking because I was scared of cancer. I quit because not being able to breathe was turning me into a little ***** under the iron. Death comes for everyone. Might as well be a badass while you wait for it.

    All of the "studies" on red meat finding increased risk of cancer are pretty much based on the higher fat content.

    Do you know what contributed to our increased brain size? Meat.

    We have canine teeth, we are designed to eat red meat. And as for "real carnivores", would you rather me disembowl and partially eat the cow before it's dead?
