It's interesting though-the term "free range" is not literal (going back to meats). There are laws that define what "free-range" means. In the US, it means that the animal must be allowed to walk around, outside it's cage for like an hour, every couple days.

In Great Britain, in contrast, all animals must be "free range" their entire lives, and "free-range" is meant literally. They're out roaming fields and when it's time for slaughter they go out and rounfd them up.

The result, is much better tasting food. Egg yokes are not supposed to be yellow, for instance, they really should be orange. Over there, when you get eggs sunnyside up, the yoke is orange, they are yellow here because of unhealthy slaughterhouse practices. You can actually see the difference in an egg. That's says a lot.

I dunno. But steaks taste good. And so do eggs. And i have my canines and incisors. so I eat meat.

mmmm...steak

[Paper Hearts]

I just figure I don't need it.

[Guest Game of Chance]

I like protein...lots of it. More power to you. But when I invite you over to have a steak, I'll have yours too. :grin

[Paper Hearts]

Me too. I don't need to get protein from meat.

[Guest Game of Chance]

To me, there's nothing like beef. Can't wait to eat your steak :cheerful :grin

[Paper Hearts]

See my post about beef, on the page before. Beef does taste good, though.

[Paper Hearts]

80% of the beef this country produces comes from spent dairy cattle.

A Dairy cow is raised on a special diet that includes certain added chemicals, to help it produce more milk. This special diet makes the animals anemic. 40% of the beef cows, by the time the reach the slaughter house cannot walk or stand because of anemia. Often they develop sores similar to bed sores, from laying around, which go un treated, because there is no law that says their wounds have to be treated. Many of the cows slaughtered have advanced infecctions. The cattle also develop chemical imbalances from lack of stimulation (because beyond crippling anemia they are kept in special desiegned cages with prevent them from being able to even face another direction their whole lives) and of course, depression effects the entire body.

So imagine the cocktail of healthy chemicals your ingesting the next time you sit down to have a steak.

There it is.

As much as I have abused my body over the years, that is the least of my concern.

I appreciate your viewpoint. But as both a Darwinist and a Heathen, I simply cannot agree.

Damn, I just had a steak.

It was juicy and delicious too.

I know we're better off without meat. It's tough to avoid though.

To stay healthy, I usually dont eat red meat, but turkey sandwiches are a staple in my diet

I honestly dont know how to give them up.

I also love diet coke and people tell me it's going to make me uber-depressed and full of poison.

Any thoughts on sweetner substitutes??

[Guest Game of Chance]

I have one thought on all of this.

Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be the Whole of the Law.

[Guest Game of Chance]

Let's get to the real question.

Do I start Donovan McNabb or Aaron Brooks this week in my fantasy football league? :fear :laughing

Well, I am, for most intents and purposes, an atheist too, Steve. You are entitled to your beliefs I just wanted to point out where I'm coming from.

You've seen me eat meat though. But it's usually just when I'm drunk or have been invited to dinner at someone else's place that I have it, lately.

Eternel:

Sweetners? I try to stay away from all of that. Never been a sweets person.

[Paper Hearts]

I don't know much about football, GOC. I like a bit of soccer, a bit of rugby and a bit of Aussie rules, but I won't pretend to be an expert on any of those either.

Although I may start playing Aussie Rules, soon.

[Guest Game of Chance]

Its a tough call...especially since McNabb got a little banged up last week, and Brooks (The New Orleans Saints QB) doesn't have a game at home all year.

[Paper Hearts]

Well...Id' say that you've got a point about the Saints season being fucked...but they also have a bit more to win for.

[Paper Hearts]

Double post. Must be my lucky day-

So.........(continuing the cophee house discussuin)

You don't eat meat, because you don't need it even though it may taste good.....

What else do you do that you don't need to do and may have bad results, but you do anyway?

[Paper Hearts]

I...shave?

[phee]

What I am asking is... is it only meat that you have this attitude towards or is it everything?

[Paper Hearts]

Well, meat comes from a living, breathing, intellegent being, so it's different. There is a question of morality for a lot of people there, especially when you take into account some of the practices I mentioned in earlier posts.

Not only that but eating something means you put it in your body and you have to be careful about what you put into it. There are health issues.

[phee]

You don't smoke right?

[Paper Hearts]

Nope.

[Guest Game of Chance]

Do they serve any coffee in this here coffeehouse? I'd like an iced coffee please.

[phee]
