I know it is a NIH study but come on....

Im calling BS on this one.

Everyone's going to die someday.

:

Too much of anything is bad for you , believe me I know.

IT'S REALLY NOT BULLS**T like some of you think.

You can die from eating to much of anything. I know of a guy in the Northwest that went on a Ramen Noodle diet and died in one month.

I dont think I have a friend in this world that eats the 5oz of red meat per week recommended in the "study"

Is it any coincidence that the gentleman first quoted in the story appears to have an Indian name?  Isnt a cow sacred in that country?

Just a thought...

I always feel like a bag of crap lately after eating red meat.

This is exactly why I switched to an all bacon diet.

There is little doubt that this is scientifically true when talking about large groups of people.  

It's also been shown that people on a severely restricted calorie diet will live longer than normal.  

My question is why would I want to live longer if I have to give up what I like?  Is it really worth an extra couple of years to restrict yourself for your entire life?

diets laden with red meat like hamburger and processed meats like hot dogs, bacon and cold cuts.

What little I read suggested poor eating habits... not a balanced portion of meat in a decent meal. Eat a piece of fish with all the crap that accompanies what they studied and fish would be the cause of higher risk.

I think regional and environmental influences are far greater. Down here, living well into your 90's isn't unusual at all. Red meat is required at almost every meal. ..lol Steak and eggs for breakfast... chicken fried steak for lunch and ribeye's on the grill for dinner isn't out of the ordinary.

Red meat only = death for the cows, not people.

Whoever funded that study should demand a refund.   ;D

Daniel is right, a pound of bacon per day will clear this right up.

Seriously, it's called moderation. Red meat is fine, once & a while. All the time, not so much.

We didn 't become **** sapiens by eating veggies only  :.

On the other hand, due to my high cholesterol levels now I 'm on a red meat restricted diet  >, not that I can 't eat red meat, I just have to cut back on the ammount and frequency so ----> chicken and fish, screw the veggies ! ( I HATE veggies ).

Stick a fork in me...I'm a gonner if I have to give up my steak!! ;D ;D

Remember that 80's flick "The Great Outdoors" with John Candy and Dan Ackroyd, when Ackroyd's character talked Candy into eating the 'Ol 96er', a 96 ounce steak ?  ;D

The deal was if he finished it all, the entire party ate free.  

I agree that anything in excess will eventually catch up with you but, I have canine teeth for a reason. I like steak nicely marbled and fatty bacon.

Not that I don't like a nice marbled steak, but our canine teeth are there to eat wild game that is much more lean than corn fed beef and pork.

Point being, we are carnivores.

Pretty sure John Candy died from a heart attack.... just sayin'.

Um, do you mean "Omnivores"?

Man, I just feel sorry for that Man Vs. Food guy. At least he will die happy.

You sound like Pop on Grumpier Old Men.

There are nutrients found in both plants and flesh that are necessary for the human body to stay healthy but any of these nutrients in excess will have an adverse outcome.

When God calls your name he aint gonna ask what you've been eating

Point being, we are carnivores.

Um, do you mean "Omnivores"?

Yeah I did. Thanks Matt. Duh Right?

Had a brain fart.

red meat wouldnt be bad for us if they would stop putting all the medicine, steroids, and all the other bs in the feed to make them grow faster so they sell them faster.also with the medicine we eat in the meat we become immune to the medicine we take .

Looks like we are all going to have to start eating McDonalds's Filet-o-Fish. BTW, anybody else have this song stuck in their head since you first saw the commercial?
