Chickens are actually the "dirtiest" type of meat, just FYI. They have to shut down a beef processing plant if a chicken comes inside.

But it may be true that pigs have the most "funky" stuff in the meats (like weird toxins). Not to mention pork is generally the most cured of those types of meats and contains a lot of sodium nitrite. That stuff does quite a number on your DNA.



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

I've also heard pork is much more unhealthy than red meat. Supposedly, pigs can't sweat out toxins like other mammals and they absorb those toxins in their bodies in higher concentrations. They're more fattening, and they'll eat virtually anything.

Not trying to put pork down, just some random musings.

1% check rate and Mad cow

Can you clairfy? Sorry, I'm lost. :| I know about mad cow disease but I'm not following the first part.

 

 

Back when they found that one incident of mad cow I believe the FDA checked under 1% of cows. Since then do you know what has changed in the regulations? Nothing. Do the math.

Well, dang. Forget zombies invading and eating your brains people. Mad cows disease will have already turned them to sponges.

You know, I'm glad you brought up mad cows because I had all but forgotten about it. People should look it up. It's pretty freakin' scary when you think about it. I have a friend whose family only purchases local beef from a butcher that feeds his livestock right.

That's the way to do it really. All the crap they feed commercialized cattle is appaling. It doesn't take a scientist to figure out that a herbivore should not be fed meat, espcially a cow!

Yeah, ham and bacon are really cancerous... and I like eating them...
Oxygen also does a number in your DNA, you could always religiously down a gallon of tea though, haha.

I'm just wondering if in several years people will start coming down with mad cow disease. I have been eating as little beef as possible, basically I don't eat it unless I have absolutely no other choice. Never liked the taste anyhow.

That's what I wonder. With such a long incubation period, will cases start springing up all over the place years down the road? It could be pretty bad!

I'm hoping it won't crop up, but I can't help but think about the typical US diet. Burgers, ground beef in virtually everything, steak, you name it! Breakfast, lunch, and dinner! There's got to many infected if the info we have on the disease is correct.

Heck, it takes years for the diesease to fully develop in cattle! Just think how hard it would be to control it without a mass culling...

Also, did the report say anything about their activity levels per person?
I eat red meat a lot, but I run 5 miles a day

Well we don't know whether or not the disease has been around or not, since they don't really check many cows at all. Worst case scenario, most of the US population dies out due to Mad Cow and the vegetarians and the few who didn't eat much beef get to point and say "I told you so." Best case scenario, nothing happens. I just don't want to graduate to hear that I'm gonna die anyhow because of eating some cow 10 years ago.

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.

I don't think cows were going to take over the world and destroy the atmosphere on their own.  I think it was a human idea to breed cows in the zillions at the expense of clean water, clean plants, clean air, and clean food for millions of people.

I've always wondered the point in living 80 years instead of say...70. If you're not living forever, how much does a couple extra years matter? You'll be dead eventually, and it won't have mattered at all if you lived one amount of time or another. That said, red meat isn't the best meat anyways. Chicken...now that's the good stuff.

 

This! I love red meat.

Without man though, I am curious to know how many animals would be a alive. I bet we would have more cows/bison, etc to fart all over the place.

When Louis and Clark got to the Mississippi river, they looked for a place to cross. It was about a mile wide where the found it. So, they started heading up the banks of the river until they spotted rapids (rapids means shallow water).

When they got there, to there surprise the water was not shallow at all. What they were seeing was millions of beaver crossing the river. Wildlife without man, was on a scale that we can't imagine today.

You can blame man for a lot. But to say the nature of things without us would be better in every instance I think is wrong. Yea.. a lot of farts would be out there, even without us (maybe even more).
