LAST EDITED ON 05-04-09 AT 03:18 PM (EST)Our big steak deal was found at the St. Jacobs farmer's market on Saturday -- two gargantuan steaks, two huge ones and one medium one (for Pippy) for $16 total. Good quality steaks with peppercorns surrounding it, and they were the best steaks we've had in quite some time. We have these steaks about once a month during the summer and roast beef maybe once a month during the winter, the rest of the weekly meals would consist mainly of pork, chicken, pasta, and ground beef dinners, so we don't go nuts with red meat all that often.

14. "RE: Do You Love Red Meat?" |
I eat meat; red, white, plant, pelagic. I don’t eat bug meat (that was to reassure Dragonflies).Red meat (as opposed to plant meat) is what undoubtedly what brought our ancestors thru the various crises they faced in the last 200,000 years, and their ancestors since the beginning of animal life on earth. And is what spurred this magnificent brain growth that made me what I am today (don't laugh), so I see no reason to mess with such a beneficial and well proven formula. Interesting article though. However, one can't argue with the benefits of animal meat for blood sugar health, maintenance of weight, brain function, and muscle and nervous system maintenance. With statin support and moderation, circulatory system obstructions should be controllable in most of us. Actually, the benefits of meat in keeping blood sugar levels low helps nullify the problems meat presents circulatory system –wise. Then, man invented beer, and all was right with the world. .

My topic isn't about doing without, it's about whether or not you think you should reduce the amount you eat.Red meat (as opposed to plant meat) is what undoubtedly what brought our ancestors thru the various crises they faced in the last 200,000 years, and their ancestors since the beginning of animal life on earth. And is what spurred this magnificent brain growth that made me what I am today (don't laugh), so I see no reason to mess with such a beneficial and well proven formula. I believe that, while they ate meat, they ate a lot less of it than we do today, mainly because it was scarce. I think they subsisted mostly on plant-based food, even for protein. The other thing is/was that wild red meat is much leaner than the red meat we eat today. It was probably much healthier. However, one can't argue with the benefits of animal meat for blood sugar health, maintenance of weight, brain function, and muscle and nervous system maintenance. I've never heard that eating meat is beneficial for blood sugar health. Interesting. However, I'm sure there are many, many people with diabetes who also eat meat. It seems to be related more to genetics and obesity than whether or not one eats meat. With statin support and moderation, circulatory system obstructions should be controllable in most of us. Actually, the benefits of meat in keeping blood sugar levels low helps nullify the problems meat presents circulatory system –wise. So you're advocating the use of medication so that one can continue to eat meat?!? *Boggle* if that's what you mean. It's a Tribe!

24. "RE: Do You Love Red Meat?" |
Since we haven't established how much red meat any of us eat, it's not possible to reasonably debate quantity reduction. Some may need to reduce intake in order to be considered at the low end, while other may not need to do so. So I can't address your topic without knowing more. In general, and for most things in life, moderation is a wise idea, though.The amounts mentioned in the article, 1 oz to 4 oz, strikes me as on the low side. A four ounce steak (for example) is pretty petite. And 1 ounce? I rather imagine a bowl of beef soup has more than that in it. As far as ancestors go, you're probably right, I guess. I wasn't there. But you know, it's also possible to eat lean meat nowadays. And I've read that, at least in a lot of places, man domesticated animals (for meat) before they domesticated plants. But details aside, there's a good logical argument saying that the concentrated protein and minerals found only in meat allowed humans to survive and become intelligent. You misunderstood what I was saying about diabetics, I wasn't saying eating meat causes diabetes, I was trying to say eating meat is beneficial for those with diabetes. They have to watch their carbohydrate intake, but meat is free. They also need some fiber for obvious reasons. For diabetics, high glucose is usually the killer. Protein (for the most part)doesn't become glucose, it is a source of protein. Glucose is produced in the body from carbohydrates, therefore a diet with a high meat ratio can be beneficial in lowering glucose for some. Blood sugar is glucose. That was at the heart of what the Adkins diet is all about. The beneficial effects of meat in terms of circulatory systems comes from the fact that a high meat ratio diet can lower blood sugar, helping to abate the damage that high levels of glucose has on the veins and arteries. Glucose molecules tend to abrade the inner surface of the circulatory system, and it is at these abraded places that blood fat tends to accumulate, forming arterial clogs that lead to heart attacks and more. No, I don't advocate the use of medication to be able to eat meat.

31. "RE: Do You Love Red Meat?" |
I knew what you meant about the meat and blood sugar/diabetes association. Sorry I wasn't clear in my response. I meant that lots of people who eat red meat still become diabetics and I don't know that eating red meat actually helps diabetics control blood sugar. In fact, I found this:http://www.annals.org/cgi/content/abstract/136/3/201 Measurements: Using factor analysis based on data from food-frequency questionnaires, we identified and validated two major dietary patterns that we labeled "prudent" (characterized by higher consumption of vegetables, fruit, fish, poultry and whole grains) and "western" (characterized by higher consumption of red meat, processed meat, French fries, high-fat dairy products, refined grains, and sweets and desserts). Relative risks and 95% CIs were adjusted for potential confounders, including body mass index (BMI), physical activity, and cigarette smoking. Results: During 12 years of follow-up (466 508 person-years), we documented 1321 cases of type 2 diabetes. The prudent dietary pattern score was associated with a modestly lower risk for type 2 diabetes (relative risk for extreme quintiles, 0.84 ). In contrast, the western dietary pattern score was associated with an increased risk for type 2 diabetes (relative risk, 1.59 ; P < 0.001 for trend). A high score for the western dietary pattern combined with low physical activity (relative risk comparing extreme quintiles of dietary pattern score and physical activity, 1.96 ) or obesity (relative risk for BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 vs. <25 kg/m2, 11.2 ) was associated with a particularly high risk for type 2 diabetes.Conclusion:Our findings suggest that a western dietary pattern is associated with a substantially increased risk for type 2 diabetes in men. The article indicates that red meat doesn't seem to be beneficial regarding diabetes. When you use the word "meat" in your post do you mean always "red meat?" I'm not anti-meat or red meat. I agree with what you said about moderation. Americans in general don't seem moderate in their consumption of red meat. Many eat it at every meal in higher quantities than 1 to 4 ounces. We tend to be overeaters of food as a whole and that's what's causing many of the health problems today, along with the types of food we eat. It's a Tribe!

Well, again, very interesting and informative citations. But any study that tries to find out which diet is better than the other, and labels one of the them "Prudent" diet and the other the "Western" is starting off with a glaring bias. They are very obviously predisposed to determine that the "Prudent" diet is superior to whatever diet it is compared too. Better they should term them "Diet 1" and "Diet 2"I only have a data base of one, and based on that one, I can say that a higher meat to vegetable ratio is beneficial in lowering blood sugar levels. It just is. I cannot eat a lot of carbohydrates, and fruit/veggies are the prime source of carbs. It also helps me with weigh control for related reasons. Carbs are the source of human body fat, not protein from meat (of any kind), nor even fat from red meat to any real degree. I guess what I was trying to say (and I didn't do a very good job) is that lower carbohydrate consumption is key to controlling high blood sugar diabetes. For me, eating more meat helps to consume fewer carbs. Ideally, I will consume only enough veggies to get the fiber I need. Yeah, I guess red meat is what I mean, although I really don't understand why red meat is considered to be just mammal meat (it is, right?) and distinct from fish or fowl. Because it has more fat, maybe? Then why not talk about consuming less fat instead of less red meat. As you point out, red meat can be lean too, especially game meat. And the non-breast meat of domesticated fowl is pretty darn greasy. Bake a turkey or a chicken and you can measure the depth of the oil you end up with. And what is processed meat? Is it canned meat, because if so, then ugh, even if it’s canned chicken or turkey, ugh!. Except for canned seafood, I don't eat it, I don't really like it. So if one has to eat canned red meat to be on a "western" diet, then that’s one thing, but if Deli meats are also considered to be processed, then that's another thing. Or sausages. In that case “Western” would include Europe, the Middle East, North Central and South America, Australia, and other places that are also heavy into Deli meat and sausage, that is, the "Western" Diet. To my taste, no one does Deli meat or sausages like the Italians. I agree with your conclusion though, that simple overeating is the over-arching dietary problem. Overeating of everything.

16. "RE: Do You Love Red Meat?" |
After moving to Malaysia with my DW about one year after we were married, my diet changed considerably. Malaysians (and most Asians in general) eat much more seafood and less red meat than Americans do. After living there for so many years (and forgetting how big US serving sizes are), I was somewhat shocked at the huge serving sizes of red meat at restaurants and at my folks and friends' homes.We have steak every other week, but about 1/3 to 1/2 the typical American serving size. Even when I order at a restaurant, I'll usually order the smallest cut. We'll have hamburger about once a week, but I cook them very thin (something like a SteaknShake steakburger) and I only eat one, although I'll stack the burger with tomatoes, onion and lettuce. We'll have chicken maybe once or twice a week, spaghetti (again light on the beef) about every other week. We eat seafood, prepared Malaysian style, about twice a week. We're very much a fruit and veggie family, typically two servings of vegetables with every meal, along with a salad. We also don't drink much in the way of carbonated/junk drinks, having fruit juice (orange, grape, apple, cherry, etc.) to go with the meal. As a result, none of our family is overweight or with high cholesterol levels. If anything, I'm still a little bit too thin. Spring kite by Sharnina

There's an international food supermarket ('Supermercado Saraga') up in Indy that specializes in fresh seafood (complete with tanks with live stock, including specialties like tiger prawns) and we buy fresh fish and prawns there. Usually, we cook it fresh the day(s) after we get it, and we also stock up and freeze some of it, but if frozen fresh properly, it comes out nearly as good as fresh. DW is very fussy about seafood and it took a while to find the best place within 50 miles of here to get it. With her in Malaysia now to care for her mom who had a stroke about a month ago, I wish I knew how to cook it like she does!

We only eat steak or ground beef about once a month. We have changed a lot in the past few years, and use ground turkey for dishes like chili or in tacos or spaghetti sauce. I do like burgers on the grill, though.I think they mentioned processed meat, and we avoid those. I buy ham, hot dogs, and bacon without sodium nitrates at the health food co-op, and we eat more chicken and turkey than anything else. I don't know if it makes any difference in that study, but we buy meats and poultry that were raised without using antibiotics or hormones. DH still likes liver and onions, but we only eat that once a year.
