That's it I'm giving up red meat.

[HEyHEY]

I can't enjoy it anymore thinking about how it rots in your body and stuff. Time to knock it off.

[George_Bonanza]

1. Everything rots in your body

Even vegetables and fruits. Rotten veggies are not pleasant either. Same with dairy products.

[HEyHEY]

2. Then I'm giving up food!

I mean about how it sits there forever...creepy. This is what I am lead to believe anyway.

[Swede]

3. HeyHey you drink enough to float a battleship,

and now you worry about red meat. Just eat bran for breakfast every other day. Nothing like a good movement.

[HEyHEY]

7. yeah but booze isn't icky

[Swede]

8. Well I've gagged til nothing comes up on tequila but a fine barbecued

steak has never caused that reaction.

[HEyHEY]

9. hey...maybe it's a new complex developing

but I get all disgusted when I think about it :shrug:

also....bacon doesn't count as red meat does it?

[Swede]

10. mmmmmmmmmmmm,bacon.

12. Alcohol is created by fermenting carbohydrates with yeast. . . .

In other words, yeast ingest sugars and other carbohydrates and excrete alcohol. So the beverage you so buoyantly defend as not "icky," is, in fact, yeast urine. Hope you enjoy it as much this evening as you did earlier today.

[HEyHEY]

19. mmm yeast piss!

[rooboy]

4. You have to be kidding...

I usually eat red meat 3 meals a day, and I love it. Send me yours.

6. Swallowing chewing gum has that effect. But red meat?

There are lots of meats out there, some of which are pink, gray, or white in color. They pass through after a few days, or at least they appear to - yuck... Do tell, I just started eating ground beef myself!

13. As a Kid hanging out with Livestock truckers

And seeing the walking dead (Old limping milk cows, barely moving, stiff, stinking, bony, hormone fed, antibiotic laden) turned into hamburger and similarly hogs (near dead) pepperoni-ized.

Think this isn't going on today? Ask a trucker in the livestock transport business and ask them a few questions. I wouldn't eat that which should be thrown out.

Organic, wholesome, free range meat and wild game are very tempting and make no sense to abstain from totally.

[Leftist78]

16. I'll second that

I do whatever I can to support local family farmers in my area and most of my food (meat and veggies) is from small family farmers many of whom I've known most of my life. It's the best way I can come up with to fight the corporate factory farms.

Love the wild game too, got a freezer full of venison, but I just ate the last of the ducks last week. Can't wait get out in the blind and get some more.

14. Keep eating meat. If the rotting stuff freaks you out try this.

15. Plus it clog's your arteries

I gave a red meat along time ago. I do have it on special occasion like my Birthday or Christmas.

Did you notice a change in your skin?

[HEyHEY]

20. just decided today

no change yet

[mlawson]

17. You can do it, HEy HEy!!!

I went cold turkey (sorry), and have never fallen off the wagon. First I eliminated beef (10 yrs ago), then pork (6 yrs ago), and finally poultry 2 yrs ago. No regrets.

It makes me literally nauseous now, to smell meat cooking. But that takes a while to get to, if ever.

[Rowdyboy]

18. Is veal considered meat?

:evilgrin: Sorry, I couldn't help myself, I didn't mean it...

But, think about all the poor children whose fathers make "Marsala" wine. People who boycott veal are hurting those innocent children...

21. My mother stopped eating most foods because of thoughts

like this

It happened later in life and she would think about where food came from, how it was grown,harvested or butchered and then she couldn't eat without becoming ill.

In the last years of her life she mostly existed on ice cream, coffee and sweets. She would attempt a meal and did ok as long as no mention of food was made while she was eating...we also couldn't say anything remotely unclean...

No, she didn't die of starvation...
