Saw an interesting show on PBS about our corn production and its uses, how we feed cows corn when they can't digest it well and get sick from the corn and have to be put on anti biotics...they make fat cow full of fat is our meat. then they take the corn and make corn syrup for a cheap non nutrient ingrediant in all soda pops and most foods instead of cane sugar.....one man lost 100 pounds by just stopping drinking sodas, that is all he did.
It was fascinating.

Just slightly confewzed here. So are you saying if I eat grass I'll be skinny? (I don't drink much soda).

I have never met an overweight vegatarian.

bizi who eats alot of red meat....

I hear people mentioning red meat a lot as though it is a bad thing. I love my steak, or beef mince in spaghetti. I also eat only beef saucages or hamburgers, just don't like pork very much. I have heard horror stories as though I would have got many kilo's of undigested red meat stuck in my bowels at any given time? Weird things like that.

Do you know what is supposed to be the problem with red meat? I know I have got no weight or cholesterol issues.

Red meat is higher in cholesterol and fat...from what I have heard...most of us probably don't remember eating "good" Beef.
I have not tried the grass fed beef products...they are very expensive but I think I will try it some time to see what difference it makes.
My initial guess is that it will be leaner and won't have that juicey fatty flavor...like a ribeye that is my favorite.
I have had filets before and don't care for them...know that sounds crazy...
Oh another reason to avoid ground beef is the higher risk of contamination from the grinding of the beef.
Every surface that comes into contact with a blade runs the risk of contamination.
So with ground beef.... all of it runs that risk.
This is why hamburgers should be cooked well done thru out...and why a cut of beef can be Medium Rare or other , as long as you cook the sides that were exposed to the blade.... Makes sense.

Thanks bizi. Seems like I am doing things right with the beef and got nothing to worry about.
