Thread: Eating Meat: health & world effects

I hope this is in the right place. Very interesting and informative but brief enough to watch here.

Fast Food Nation

Not the world. Depends on how the meat source is raised, treated, and produced.

True.

But in the US it's often livestock in Central America that take up a lot of land, so they frozen beef is sent up to the US for fast food restaurants.

Did you see the video? It's interesting.

Fortunately for the world, the US exports little meat products. Well-known that the American food system is the most undeveloped in the world. The world doesn't want American shite, contrary to popular illusion.

Interesting, now I don't have to read the book. Looks like it was written by a rabbid protein-deficient vegetarian. How much of those stats can you rely on?

What's the alternative? Natural, organic meat at a higher price?

For information look at the video. It's about how the food is produced and how this has changed in the last 60 years.

Can you give us an example of a properly developed food system?

What's the point of this video? I haven't had fast food for at least 3 years. That's one of the many reasons I live where I do. Are you just discovering all this, Milkman, and you want to save everybody? This is all very old information now presented in easily digestible fast food for the mind.

BugginOut,

I think you've misunderstood the video. Please watch it again.

Good video. It is disgusting what they feed cows, and chickens. There is a reason why I barely eat fast food, or meat.

Well from the looks of the pix you have used as an AV, you must eat plenty of something.
And meat is protein which you have been asking about, even BIG NECK chi eats plenty of BEEF.

This recent study pertains to red meat, aka, beef:

Paying a Price for Loving Red Meat

By JANE E. BRODY
Published: April 27, 2009
There was a time when red meat was a luxury for ordinary Americans, or was at least something special: cooking a roast for Sunday dinner, ordering a steak at a restaurant. Not anymore. Meat consumption has more than doubled in the United States in the last 50 years.

Now a new study of more than 500,000 Americans has provided the best evidence yet that our affinity for red meat has exacted a hefty price on our health and limited our longevity.

The study found that, other things being equal, the men and women who consumed the most red and processed meat were likely to die sooner, especially from one of our two leading killers, heart disease and cancer, than people who consumed much smaller amounts of these foods.

Results of the decade-long study were published in the March 23 issue of The Archives of Internal Medicine. The study, directed by Rashmi Sinha, a nutritional epidemiologist at the National Cancer Institute, involved 322,263 men and 223,390 women ages 50 to 71 who participated in the National Institutes of Health-AARP Diet and Health Study. Each participant completed detailed questionnaires about diet and other habits and characteristics, including smoking, exercise, alcohol consumption, education, use of supplements, weight and family history of cancer.

Fast Food Nation

Eric Schlosser's book "Fast Food Nation" is a bloody good piece of journalism that has been dumbed down by the film of the same name...

Another film "Food Inc." might be a bit closer to the bone.

Why, because you posted it and believe it and think that everone should do the same and agree with you?
I say it is bullshit.
I saw a video about some cowboys eating beans on another thread and I do not believe it either.

I never said that. Please post a quote of mine of when and where I said that.

I did not.

It's your attitude and smart-ass comments. Not your opion, which I do respect.

Fuck a wild man, you are going to have to get off that stuff, what ever it is as it seems to be effecting your thinker.

I have to agree, BGs remarks to PB were totally off topic insults, more suitable for MKP

A pig farmer by trade, Robert William Pickton of Port Coquitlam BC...
Police (combed) every square inch of (Willie's) pig farm property and others associated with Pickton in search of evidence (after several pros went missing and some of their personal belongings were found on his farm). Evidence of his crimes was hard to nail down as it is alleged that Pickton fed his victims to his pigs. It has also been uncovered that Pickton may have combined human flesh with ground pork that was later given out to friends and visitors to the farm.
Pickton was already known to police for his wild parties thrown on his property under the guise of a registered charity called the Piggy Palace Good Times Society. (Snuff films.)


Serial Killer Robert William Pickton - The Pig Farm Killer

Aint it funny how the USDA can trace a cow back to the Canadian farm his mother was born on and even to the box stall where the birth occured, but can not find any of the 12.5 million illegal aliens in the country or deport any even if they know where they are.
And how about them nasty cows, eating the placenta after the calf is born, my god, nasty, but they can't do it around Thai or Vegans, they take it from the birthing area and eat it themselves, now you got the straight shit on vegans, cows, and nasty..

Strange shit ain't it.

^ Yep. But, awhile back, it took the US/Cdn guvs forever to find the offending farm that had the audacity to ship out spinach tainted with e-coli!

Yes, it surely is, and did you know that all cow shit is tainted with E-COLI because it comes from inside a cows guts, and cow shit is an organic fertilizer, so cook everything you eat that has been organically fertilized.

Meat is good. You know want, Kungfu Panda said,"broth runs through our veins."
