Current Events > Apparently the earth'd be better off if we all all ate red meat once a week

(+) Yeah! (+)

The implication here is obviously that this is a reduction in red meat consumption.

Jesus america, how much red meat are you consuming? In this economy?

Don't mind if I do

I expect every fucking vegan to do their part.

Fast food chains would never allow this. Probably most of the beef consumed in America is from fast food places.

The world should stay in a worse place

Once a week is probably more than my family eats red meat as it is. Our red meat consumption is almost exclusively ground beef as well.

I eat red meat around 4 times a week.

I rarely eat red meat.

I don't even think I average once a week unless I make a casserole or tacos. Even then i rarely eat beef. A pound of 80/20 is like 8 bucks on average.

I haven't looked at a steak in well over a year.

Yeah, there's this guy who wrote a book recently about exactly this. He's been making the rounds. Can't remember the dude's name.

I don't eat beef much but pork is pretty consistently the cheapest meat I can buy

Yeah, you can increase your lifespan on average by reducing your consumption of red meat too. I honestly do it for these two reasons.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/9/90b6730b.jpg

Burgers like once a week during the summer. Had taco night last night too. We should probably use ground chicken for taco night tbh

I used to eat it a lot more often than I do now. I don't think I've had beef in a couple of months. I still use protein powder and drink milk though.

I did tacos with Impossible last night. I think I like it better than turkey. It is spendier, though.

Listen, there's about a million different ways the planet could be a better place. Lets start with something more important than our tasty meat.

Like billionaires.

My diet is tailored around meat and vegetables with a heavy dose of it being red meat.

I have a health issues that impacts my digestion and intake greatly. I eat no gluten or dairy and even though Im no longer avoiding it at one point I was also off soy and was low FODMAP which was stupidly restrictive. I also cant have alcohol or caffeine and I often find weird individual things that give me reactions.

So ultimately for me meat is just safe and doesnt give me reactions but Ive always eaten a lot of meat even before my health issues. But after my restrictions it became my go to stable base. When you feel sick all the time and are afraid of putting food in your body unless you know it is safe trust me when you find a safe food you will eat more of it. Its why I gave up eating out completely in 2017 and every meal comes from my kitchen prepared from scratch made by me. Sure I add chicken, pork, and fish in there too but I love red meat.

As soon as the crisp cool fall weather kicks in more I cant wait to make the first pot of chili for the season. I go meat heavy with like 6 pounds of hamburger in it. I make a 4 pound meatloaf like once every month and Ill eat meatloaf sandwiches all week at work. I like to make roasts/carrots/potatoes/onions in the crockpot on a regular basis. Im making tacos tonight and that will be like 3 pounds of hamburger and Ill eat it over the next few days. I make tacos regularly.

Yeah the list goes on and on. I regularly consume red meat. The economy is not an issue to me.

Roughly twice a week I think

Not that often for me. I might have a burger every couple of weeks. I eat more chicken, turkey, and fish than beef.

Oh, hell. Before they knew I had Crohn's, they put me on that diet and I couldn't stand it. I lost so much weight that I got sick. I was eating so little that I had to start drinking Ensure regularly just to make sure I was getting some nutrition in me.

Yeah I truly feel bad for anyone that needs to do that permanently. I did it for a year and was borderline depressed at how little I could eat. There are things I miss with no gluten and dairy but it isnt too bad at this point and years of doing it. No FODMAP though can fuck off.

I feel like some people eat red meat at least 5 days a week.

i salute your cooking. it's really good.

especially the two bolded things. i'm making taco's too tonight though i only eat red meat once a week but it's a few servings because i love to indulge on my cheat dinner (only on meat not on carbs).

Meatloaf is such a simple thing that tastes so damn good to me that it doesnt make sense. Ive never gotten tired of it and Im getting ready to turn 50. Ate it often growing up and as an adult Ive made it at least once a month if not twice a month the entire 21 years Ive been in this house.

I love a standard burger as well but meatloaf just hits different. And its such an easy meal to bring to work and heat up and slap between two pieces of bread for a delicious meal.

Here I assumed it meant if we ate more and I was confused about how that works.

I eat red meat a couple of times a month. I love it, but it's too expensive.

My youngest son has always really liked to cook, and meatloaf was the first thing he really mastered. He makes it for the family every few weeks, and it tastes fantastic.

I taught him to make it, and he has tweaked the recipe so it is way better than what I make.

Nice! I love cooking and being in the kitchen but when you work full time, buy groceries and take care of all household duties yourself it would be a huge bonus to have someone else take care of a meal here or there. Especially yummy meatloaf.

ill be honest, i dont even know what red meat is

Beef

We eat it more often in the summer when we have burgers from the grill twice a week. Winter is less. Its usually gyudon or shabu shabu in those cases.

But the governments said the earth is perfectly fine

It's not even about how much is consumed, we waste tons every day.

Ill stick to zero times thanks. Sorry planet.

Beef

so is it just beef or is it all mammal meat

Dungeater posted...

all mammal meat

i'll go with this answer imo.

Yuck, none for me, thanks.

Dungeater posted...

I dunno, I guess I don't really eat any other mammals.

Dungeater posted...

it's sort of confusing since the term has multiple meanings depending on context + which organization is classifying things but I'm pretty sure all mammal meat is the common one

No pork? I know things like lamb/goat/deer/etc are not that common in many areas but I feel like pork is pretty common alongside beef outside of religious restrictions

Fast food chains would never allow this. Probably most of the beef consumed in America is from fast food places.

Fast Food is actually adding more chicken to their menus because beef is reaching a saturation point.

Yeah I always forget that for many people that they dont commonly eat venison. Thats such a strange thing to me because where I live hunting white-tailed deer and eating venison is so common. Like super common. The amount of people who fill a deep freeze every hunting season in fall and winter with deer meat is high. Also in other areas elk or moose. And lamb is super common in many areas. Not quite as common in my area but still consumed a fair amount.

As a cattle farmer, I agree with this. Eat more beef.

The world would be better off if we ceased meat consumption entirely.

I know everyone says this, but I hit the jackpot when it comes to kids. They love cooking, but they started doing it because they were looking for ways to help out. They are always doing that. Even during the teen years, they are the most laid back, helpful crew you can imagine. Always looking for ways to help the family.

It is their mothers outstanding influence! And they are great cooks too! My wife and I both work full time, and their help in the kitchen and in general is really appreciated after a long day.

This topic has made me think about this very thing: I do not remember the last time I went to a fast food place and had anything but chicken. It has been at least a year or two.

This has not been a conscious choice on my part. I am just not as into burgers as I was as a young man.

Meat consumption is one of the biggest contributors to climate change and a bunch of other environmental issues. It's arguably more important to deal with than fossil fuels.

I dont eat meat everyday anymore so

confirmed..
