All red meat is bad for you, new study says - Los Angeles Times

[Paul K]

I'm going to die someday anyhow. Might as well die having enjoyed lots of red meat.

[Flieger]

Does that include Tuna? That is red flesh.

I am married to a retired dietician. She practises on me now. She would say eat red meat in moderation. It is a source of iron. I have high cholesterol now. Doc says that I should be on meds for it but I said give me 6 months and I will get it down. So I dont eat much red meat. Fish is good(good fats). Turkey, chicken(preferably not smoked) has less fat in it. Eat lots of fruit and veg. Mediterranean diet is good - fish, olive oil, garlic, whole wheat pasta. Have high blood pressure but take pills for that. Read food labels. Avoid transfat/saturated fat. Red wine in moderation is good and dark chocolate for the flavenoids. Did I says I was married to a dietician! We fast walk about 2 hours a day. Sounds tedious? You get used to it.

So, they say eating meat increases your chance of dying. Eating nuts, instead of meat, decreases your chance of dying. What they didn't say, is that eating nuts instead of meat increases your desire to die.

I rode my motorcycle to a physical once. Doc pointed at my riding gear and said that was my biggest health risk.

[Zeke]

I didn't need a study. I have so much credit in the fat bank that I can eat French Fries and pizza.

It's just like they say in Escape From L.A.: "No red meat. No smoking. No sex. No alcohol. No..."
