That seems to be a favourite occupation afterall.

I want meat with my pasta! ;)

[Jade Fox]

30. I just went out and clubbed my dinner....

No really. I do eat meat, but I actually don't like it that well, and prefer tofu! :crazy:

I only beef whose source I know because of Mad Cow's disease.

And a lot of other animals.

[realisticphish]

40. Here

How many vegetables had to die for your fucking salad???

[BikeWriter]

119. ...and what about the soy beans?

[GreenPartyVoter]

42. I still eat meat, though I am trying to cut back

[BikeWriter]

120. I'll catch up your slack. ;-)

[henslee]

43. I went veggie for a while but now im back.

[SofaKingLiberal]

44. Here. If it wasn't slaughtered, it's not food.

:popcorn:

[peekaloo]

45. to quote Nick Lowe

let's eat, let's eat
i wanna chew, chew, chew,chew, chew on some meat
so let's eat.

not a lot of red meat though, takes too long to apply for its exit visa. }(

[Wapsie B]

46. I eat all kinds of meat.

There's a nice cafe' opening up at the Y. :evilgrin:

[Arugula Latte]

47. I killed me a wild Tofu last week.

mmmmm ... that's good eatin'!

[Common Sense Party]

50. Remember: only kill the Tofu you plan to eat.

Anything more than that is just wanton cruelty.

What do you use to hunt tofu?

[Arugula Latte]

84. Yes, once I accidentally killed a baby Tofu that was not done firming up.

I felt horrible. :cry:

But the adults, well, I stun 'em first with a fly swatter and grab 'em w' tongs. That way I keep 'em fresh before I plunge them into the sizzling sesame oil.

[BikeWriter]

63. A wild Tofu? Are they in season?

[Arugula Latte]

85. They're in season now, but sometimes it's hard to get

a tag to get 'em. They've been overhunted in some areas, like Marin County, Calif., Madison, Wisc. and Cambridge, Mass.

[BikeWriter]

98. Be careful! Hunting can be hazardous. Check this picture:

[Arugula Latte]

100. Hah!

I love it! :thumbsup:

48. I had filet mignon for dinner last night

and tri-tip steak for breakfast this morning.

49. Oh, sorry. I was at Rodizio's

Eating some Brazilian-style steak.

[BobEPeru]

51. Proudly carnivorous

I was lucky enough to be born at the top of the food chain, and I intend to act like it.

[XOKCowboy]

52. Here

I grew up raising beef cattle. I will always eat meat.

[MrSlayer]

53. Right here.

[grateful581]

54. Mmmmm Rib eye steak!

I love steak

[BikeWriter]

76. That's damned nice marbling on that one, too! 13998

[rateyes]

55. If humans weren't intended to eat animals...

why are they made out of meat? Ribeye Steak and BBQ Ribs are a weakness of mine.

[BikeWriter]

118. I agree with you on both!

[Catch22Dem]

56. Here

Had some Carribbean Jerk Beef Kabobs last night. Mmmmmmmm. There's a burn ban here right now, so very very dry outside, so I had to use an indoor grill, but they turned out very good.

[Fox Mulder]

67. Here...BUT...

I have given up eating american hamburger now...with the fears of mad cow lingering, I don't want to take my chances with it anymore. I'm done.

Otherwise, I'll eat every other kind of meat out there. :)

[Richard Steele]

68. Right here, oh mighty Bike-meister!

I have eaten just about everything that walks or crawls,
at one time or another. And I regret NOTHING.

I have eaten cows and deer and rabbits
and rattlesnakes and pigs and muskrats
and chickens and woodchucks and possums.

I have 3 really good recipes for squirrel,
and a few good ideas for OSTRICH.

The best meal I have had in the last month was 'steak tartare';
and my only complaint was that the raw egg on top of it
was pasty bland white, not earthy organic brown.

I am gnawing a 'slim jim' as I type this!
(and I have a GREAT recipe for those, as well)

So, it's pretty safe to call me CARNIVORE.

[BikeWriter]

80. I loves me some raw steak! A little Worchestershire Sauce...

is all I need on it. Yep, I've eaten all sorts of critters too. Carnivore, all the way!

77. nice and tender

[BikeWriter]

78. I haven't seen those two in years! 13999

[cleofus1]

79. i just love

old comic strips...and meat...

[BikeWriter]

81. Oh, I remember when I was discharged from the Air Force...

and came home to find my Mom had given my collection of comics to one of the nephews. Oh well...

[cleofus1]

82. my mom

threw mine away...i forgive her...becouse she fed me meat...

[BikeWriter]

83. LOL! Good point, Pard. ;-)

[China_cat]

86. Good news!

Studies now show that soy isn't as good for you as touted. Doesn't protect your heart, doesn't lower your bad cholesterol, doesn't raise your good cholesterol. About the only thing it does do is taste NASTY and allow vegans to feel superior while ignoring the rabbits, snakes and other small wildlife that the harvesting process of soybeans kills.

[BikeWriter]

87. Ooh, I'd heard something about the new studies. Sensational!

[yewberry]

106. You've misunderstood the review (not a study.)

An AHA review committee has concluded that soy proteins and soy isoflavones added as supplements to the Standard American Diet do not lower LDL, HDL or trigycerides, or protect against cancers--they're questioning the medicinal value of soy supplements, not the nutritional value of soy foods.

Here's the abstract:
http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/CIRCULATIONAHA.106.171052v1


Thanks for the "superior" crack, though. That's always nice.

[tigereye]

88. I've been a vegetarian

and I really missed poultry. I really like how it tastes. I also missed ribs. This is why I am not a vegetarian now, although on some nights we eat no meat.

[BikeWriter]

89. AHA rejects health claim for soy products

A recent review by an American Heart Association (AHA) committee found soy products such as tofu, miso, and soy milk offer little health benefits, Associated Press (AP) reported on Jan 22.

The review committee went through many studies and came up with results that soy-based foods and supplements may not significantly reduce cholesterol.
http://www.foodconsumer.org/777/8/AHA_rejects_health_claim_over_soy_products.shtml

[tigereye]

90. yes, but the fact that tofu is lower in fat should be a good

thing, right? What I've read is simply that everyone should consume less fat, no matter where it comes from.

[BikeWriter]

92. "You're right." He said, as he chewed another Vienna Sausage.

[tigereye]

94. yeah she said

as she bit off another giant piece of chocolate... it's been one of those days.

;)

[BikeWriter]

97. ROFL!

[Rob H.]

95. Yes, it's a good thing, as it says in the article linked above

The AHA acknowledges that soy products such as tofu, soy butter, soy nuts and some soy burgers can be part of heart healthy diet due to the fact that soy contains polyunsaturated fats, fiber, vitamins and minerals and lower saturated fat, according to AP.

[BikeWriter]

102. (Negatives, too) SOY CAUSES ENDOCRINE DISRUPTION

Research published in this month's Biology of Reproduction shows that genistein, a plant estrogen found in soybeans, can disrupt the development of the ovaries of newborn female mice, causing reproductive problems and infertility. “This is a wakeup call for parents and pediatricians,” says Kaayla T. Daniel, PhD, author of The Whole Soy Story: The Dark Side of America's Favorite Health Food. “Soy infant formula contains high levels of phytoestrogens that can adversely affect the development of a baby's ovaries and other reproductive organs. This study adds to a growing body of evidence linking soy genistein and other phytoestrogens to endocrine disruption. Clearly soy consumption must be considered a factor in America's epidemic of infertility.”
http://www.freemarketnews.com/WorldNews.asp?nid=5530

[LeftyMom]

109. Certainly none of us are arguing that soy infant formula is a good idea

For one thing, it's not vegan because the vitamin D is derived from lanolin. For another, every soy formula sold in the US was made with GMO soybeans, last I heard.

The only healthy food for infants is human milk. Both cows milk and soy based substitutes pose serious short and long term health risks and should only be used when there's no way the mother can breastfeed and donor milk is unavailable. Anybody who suggests otherwise doesn't know what they are talking about.

It's a completely different issue from the health of soyfoods in the diets of older children and adults.

[flvegan]

108. Oh, c'mon...we were doing so well.

When those "studies" by that AHA "committee" show up in JAMA, you let me know, okay?

Lotta spin in that article, don't you agree?

Which "many studies" did they go through, anyway? Just curious.

[BikeWriter]

110. I did not author the statement. The American Heart Association did.

:shrug:

[flvegan]

112. I know that, but

you're better than this.

Come on...

[BikeWriter]

114. They seem a good source to me.

;)

[flvegan]

115. Fair enough.

[yewberry]

116. Acually, I think the AP did.

The AHA review focused on soy isoflavone & protein supplements, not on foods, and they acknowledged that soy foods are healthy. Thing is, they're food, not medicine.

Here's the abstract:
http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/CIRCULATIONAHA.106.171052v1

[mvd]

91. I eat it

With some guilt, though.

[BikeWriter]

93. I don't have that problem. We're at the top of the food chain.

[flvegan]

113. Actually, that's not correct, IMO, of course.

I'd argue that bacteria is at the top of the food chain. That, or one of many common virus...

[BikeWriter]

117. I've been eating them for years.

[friesianrider]

96. Here!

Oh wait...did you mean like animal meat? I thought you meant something else. Sorry. :hi: BikeWriter!

[BikeWriter]

99. Uh huh, we knew what you thought!

[friesianrider]

103. Uh, um, er....

Shit. O8)

Whatcha been up to BW?

104. Oh, not too much. Mostly biker stuff. Drinking and cussing...

[friesianrider]

107. Drinking...

...is always a good thing. :)

[Kali]

101. Check

and I just read something about food born illness - more from fruits and vegs than even chicken....beef way lower than either. Gotta find the source...be back in a bit.
