Lol, if eating red meat is people's idea of fun or fulfilling, that is also pretty sad.

 

Aren't we judgemental today. 

People could say the same thing about videogames.

Or pot.  You may want to look up the terms gourmet and gourmand though.

I like red meat. I also like drinking, sex, riding motorcycles, and doing several other activities that have a good chance of killing me sooner rather than later.

To each their own. You can live a teetotaler's life and live to the rich ol' age of 140. I don't give a rat's ass. I'm not going to worry about it. Personally, I think worrying about one food adding ten years to your life is rather sad.

You are right, but a gourmet wouldn't need anyone type of food to enjoy food itself.  They would be able to enjoy any type of food and probably wouldn't care that much if there was one type of food they could only eat small amounts of.

There is nothing wrong with enjoying your food.  There is nothing wrong with smoking pot.  There is nothing wrong with playing video games.  Those things become a problem when they negatively impact your life.

If you become a fat slob or your health suffers because of your diet, then you should change your diet.

If you smoke pot too much and it negatively impacts your life, you should do something about it.

If you play video games too much and it negatively impacts your life, you should stop playing so much video games.

Red meat is no different.  The article isn't saying you can't eat red meat.  It is just saying to eat it sparingly.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

No that's a gourmand.

Gourmets are REALLY picky.

You just made a judgement saying people who find red meat fun and fufilling are sad.

When lots of people find it fuffilling.  Was unneedingly judgemental.

Don't have to argue with me anyway though.  I only eat meat  3 times a week.

Oh, also eating less red meat helps the enviroment if you believe in man made global warming...

and eating less meat in general helps the world hunger crisis.

Though I do admit. Hamburgers rule.

 

what do you mean MAN made global warming?

 

Cow Farts = COW made global warming.

 

I don't understand how we still cannot harness the power of Cow Farts to power our world. We could just have them all rounded up in little Pods like in the Matrix. That way we can steal their farts while they sleep in a dream world.

Man made I'm afraid lol. The reason why cows are such a big issue is that we have almost industrialised them. Before mass farming a few hundred thousand cows in a country didn't do any harm, but now that millions live in a country it has causes more methane than we can handle... Your Idea about harnessing the power like in the matrix sounds great because of this.

 

More steak, more power = win/win



I'm more fond of fish and chicken, HOWEVER...

I'd never give up the occasional steak, burgers, roast, BBQ whatever, etc

No way. I'm active enough that eating red meat probably has very little effect to my overall health. I totally agree with rocketpig here. I'd rather enjoy my life even if it shortens it a bit than monitor every little thing and live longer.

Responsibility is important. You obviously wouldn't want the family from the "family too fat to work thread" eating red meat all the time. But enjoyment is important too. If you enjoy eating it, great.

When I'm old, I want to recall all those precious memories of myself biting into fantastic steaks and fattening burgers.

Person 2: Wait! It's amazing! Unique, charming, drop dead gorgeous... Hello?

Frankly I don't think people should rely on any type of food for fulfillment, red meat or not.  People should enjoy their food, but I don't think anyone should rely on food of any kind to make them happy.  That's like relying on alcohol to make you happy.

You could say that about anything.

What's worse about food fuffiling you then say... videogames or love or whatever else you can come up with.

You can say that about everything, right down to marriage and kids.
