    So I live in Canada and chicken is very expensive while pork is significantly less expensive. I'm just wondering if it's safe to eat pork everyday?

    I hear you should only eat red meat twice a week, but in the context of a mostly plant-based diet is it safe?

    You hear what now?

    yep, that's what is recommended here too

    Red meat as often as possible

    haha no. Red meat no more than twice a week :disappointed:

    no

    I'm not saying I agree with it. It is just the latest "recommendation " from the nutritional powers that be.

    Don't they have a min/max amount for red meat in America?

    I don't care if they do. You know what I mean? Who do you have in game two of State of Origin?


    Indeed :wink:

    Which team is indeed?


    I was agreeing with your first sentence. State of origin... No idea. I don't follow it, it's played across the border.
    what is it you're trying to say?

    Thought you were Australian.

    That I am. I'm in south Australia. They play Rugby in New South Wales/Sydney and Victoria/Melbourne. We don't have any horses in that race.

    You would think that a country that small that you would all be on the same page.

    Nope. We follow AFL/Aussie Rules down here :+1: Have never watched a game of rugby in my life!

    Naaaww come on now. I'm loyal to the original Aussie game, not a pretend version :wink:

    Although I give both footy and rugby players props for not wearing pooncy body armour :open_mouth:

    Pork is white meat to me. Pork like chicken has a massive risk of food poisoning if not cooked properly. Unlike beef and lamb which you can pretty much eat still mooing if you so chose.

    As for red meat. It is unfortunately recommended that you only eat it a couple of times a week. Think it's because of the fat content, risk of heart disease yadda yadda. Think it's blamed for a lot of bowel cancer too.

    Alas I don't listen to any of that. I'd nom a steak down every day if I could afford it, which I can't. More the pity.

    Pork tenderloin though... Ooooft yes!

    Pork is red meat. The recommendation here is that you should eat at most 70g per day of red or processed meat if you wish to pit yourself in the lower risk category for bowel cancer.

    I agree, pork is great.

    But I wouldn't eat that. It looks underdone. Too pink. Could be very nasty.

    a recommendation only possible by conflating "red" and "processed" meat I suspect.

    Australia's health department recommends a maximum of 455 grams of lean red meat per week for adults.

    The healthfulness or otherwise of pork may depend what the pig was fed on. There are those who bang on about the high Omega-6 PUFA content of pork fat as a problem, where the pigs are corn fed. Pigs have simple digestion and the fat they eat is the fat they store on their bodies.

    I read that pork is technically red meat because it is livestock but that pork tenderloin is nutritionally on a par with chicken. I say go for it.

    That doesn't make sense. It can be only one or the other. Not both...

    Like tomatoes.
