Title: I think I'm gonna quit eating meat
Post by: bagofeyes on January 30, 2007, 07:58:06 AM: I went out with my stupid workmates tonight for our new year drinking party at a korean bbq place. There was lots of meat and little bit of vegetables. Lately I've been eating alot more vegetables so I started eating them, and they were nice and fresh tasting. But then people kept forcing meat onto my plate, and I was eating and eating and it stunk and tasted like fat and it was just gross. I'm getting off this carnivore merry-go-round.

but you have a cat :(

He's an asshole, though. I like assholes. Also, I might decide to start eating meat and if I do, I'm probably gonna need a fresh supply.

Not really. First off, you'd only get fat if you are more in terms of total caloric intake. Second, meat is not "really" a "NIGHTMARE" for your body, especially if you're on a sensible diet and have an active lifestyle.

Well, sure. All things in moderation. But since when do Americans have sensible diets and active lifestyles? Mike Pollan had a fantastic article in teh Times this past weekend all about the sort of arch-myth of how we eat in this country: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/28/magazine/28nutritionism.t.html?ex=1327640400&en=a18a7f35515014c7&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss

The FDA has been fucked for years and it only gets worse. The Food Pyramid is a god damn nightmare of compromise and private interest.

But, not to derail the thread. I used to be a really fat kid. I stopped eating meat, got my act together and dropped 15 pounds, which is where I've been ever since. But I do like to eat and meat, really, is a bad idea for me.

Post by: APF on January 30, 2007, 10:24:36 AM: Well, personally I'm not talking about how Americans eat, but rather how I eat, so :P

I think a missing link in most folks' diets is fiber, and EFAs after that. And when I say fiber, I don't mean we should be taking a couple of fiber caps or eat a bowl of broccoli or something--I mean upwards of 50g total/day.

Post by: Error Macro on January 30, 2007, 07:50:00 PM: With all of the meat substitutes available today, it's fairly easy to transition into not eating meat altogether. I don't miss it at all. And I used to eat a lot of meat (no homo).
Title: Re: I think I'm gonna quit eating meat
Post by: bagofeyes on January 30, 2007, 07:51:19 PM: Yeah, I rarely eat it as it is. I don't think it should be a problem.
Title: Re: I think I'm gonna quit eating meat
Post by: etiolate on January 30, 2007, 07:55:16 PM: you'll miss meat

I had to go veggie while staying a few weeks with a vegetarian household. Drove me nuts, I cosntnatly felt hungry and I swear my stomach was depressed. You can cut down the meat and increase other thigs. If I overeat meat then I normally start craving salad and veggies.

Post by: cloudwalking on January 30, 2007, 08:00:09 PM: I don't eat meat besides seafood. It's been that way for nearly 4 years. I don't miss it at all, I was never a fan of most meat in the first place.

Title: Re: I think I'm gonna quit eating meat
Post by: brawndolicious on January 30, 2007, 08:04:06 PM: I've never been that fond of cow meat because it's not worth all the shit that gets spilled out on accident to eat it. That happens with other meats (about 1 out of every 60 times) so I've obviously eaten a lot of animal shit, but it's worth it for chicken.

It's true, a lot of the shit gets into the meat when they're slaughtered.

Post by: xnikki118x on January 31, 2007, 12:33:37 AM: I don't eat that much meat, but I wouldn't be able to live without the occasional double quarter pounder or chicken or STEAK mmmmm.

I have a friend who has been a vegetarian for 10 years. Her father is a smoker and I think he had a heart attack, so she stopped eating meat, saying she'd start again if he quit smoking. Needless ot sya, he still smokes.
