Re: Red Meat
Had a bit of a cholesterol problem, went on to a fish four days a week and now all fixed. Wonder how the first class wingers on UCL would have coped if meat ha been rationed or banned?

Re: Red Meat
The UN is now looking at issuing a new round of health warnings, among them
Breathing is a health hazard
Your exhaust fumes can harm others
Mutton causes heart disease
Road vehicles kill
I honestly couldn't live in Britain or a similar country any more. Everywhere you go cameras are watching you. Over-governed to the point where everyone must obey regulations laid down for the protection of idiots and incompetents from their own foolishness and incompetence. Afraid of uttering words that may offend somebody - or somebody's pig. In other words, adults treated as children, because a minority behave as such.

Re: Red Meat
The problem is you cannot legislate for idiots and from what I read of it the WHO must be full of them. Maybe this is just another Dr.WHO mystery.

Re: Red Meat
I remember all the fuss about the high cholesterol in eggs. Turned out that it was all based on research with rabbits, which are strict vegetarians, and reacted in a completely different way to humans. A case of too many brains and not enough common sense if ever there was one..

Re: Red Meat
Hi All.
I think WHO is a by-blow of the so called United nations. Have you ever looked at who is working there, all ex politicians from countries who have tossed them out. The Billions of dollars spent there would be better spent on the starving kids of this world, it would end poverty as well in a few months.
I have no doubt after making these statements they all go out to a big restaurant and pig out on Bacon or and Steaks with all the trimmings

Re: Red Meat
I brought huge amount of beef for pennies after the mad cow scare - based on the fact I'd eaten it for years and was probably mad anyway.
Now awaiting the bacon scare so I can stock up the freezer with pork!
And I might get run over by a bus tomorrow so I say live for the day and what makes you happy.

Re: Red Meat
Since my operations I cannot eat a lot of red meat anymore, used to love a Big juicy Sirloin steak but I would suffer a great deal after it now.
I have no choice but to stay on Chicken and fish. Enjoy while you can but one day you may not be able to.

Re: Red Meat
The best steaks I have ever eaten were not in a fancy expensive restaurants but in old shacks turned into bars in B.A.
The joy of a beefy lomo and a long cold beer.

Re: Red Meat
I take all the info produced by the so called experts with a pinch of salt (no pun intended). Last week red wine was bad for you, whilst white was good, now it's the reverse.
Everything is bad for you if you over indulge, moderation is required, even the info from experts.
