Eating Red Meat Twice Weekly May Up Cancer Risk Nearly 20%

.
But there would be hardly any meat.

A couple of proper bites, some nibbles to gnaw the flesh off the bones, chew the well cooked small bones for the marrow and juice, and its done.
A person normally orders about 6-8 sparrows for himself

I am vegetarian -- not strickly like some one start quoting me for consuming milk product or honey or something like that, and recomend everyone to be vegetarian but strangely there is lot of attraction of people toward non-veg. I tried lot of time to eat non-veg but fails so I ask the meat lovers few question :-

1. Does the taste of Meat is such a great than the veg items
2 Why do I feel reluctant in putting just one piece in my mouth.
3. Are human naturally vegetarian or non vegetarian.
4. If you haven't learned to eat meat from your parents from the kid, what would you have been veg or non veg


Thanks
1 Meat taste better than most veggis to me
2 I think your inner vegetarian guilts you thats why you feel guilt,shame and disgust in meat consumption
3 We are omnivores
4 Even if i was born in ta vegetarian house i still wouldve consumed meat due to easy availability you know the notorious forbidden fruit thing

1. Yes. A big yes.

2. It's your mental block. I will feel the same if asked to eat frog, snake, rat, dog, monkey, cat, etc. because I am not habituated with these things, but those who eat feel nothing about it.

3. Omnivorous.

4. Food habit depends upon both upbringing and enviornment...

Good and sensible reply but few counter question

1 If yes and big yes, Is this taste is with the Spices which is obviously from plants or RAW. If with the combination of Spices and other integredants, than why couldn't the other veg Items could be made taste better.

2. My mental block is not only due to what I am eating, but also I am causing someone to kill other organism. After all everyone have the right to live and survive. I don't feel anything when the tiger kills and eat deer or its victim but problem when human tries to pretend to be on the top of the food chain, looking at the others like tigers, lion during its evolution, but don't want to be pretend vulture and other scangivorous animal. So does your mental block will stop you from eating the meat who is half eaten and killed by a dog.

3. Omnivorous -- So why didn't we developed canines in our interstine, and nails to and sharp teeth during evolution. Why we need to process or cook before eating.

4. Food habit could be influenced by the watching others, their is no harm in coping with the environment, to survive, but practically when the conditions are favorable we could check the economical, environmental, medical, and philosophical issues.

Why leaders of some of India’s most powerful corporations are vegetarians


Elon Musk wants to send vegetarians to Mars. It isn't clear if Musk, the founder of PayPal, Tesla and techno-entrepreneur of the moment, is a hard-core vegetarian himself, but his plans for a colony on Mars envision crops being grown in giant bubbles with methane and oxygen harvested from the Martian atmosphere to make fertiliser. Animals for meat, or even milk, would be a superfluous cost, which will make this vision of the future not just vegetarian, but vegan.

This may just seem practical, but it is probably not unconnected that the Martian vegetarians idea was first floated by People for Ethical Treatment of Animals, the publicity-focussed animal rights group, or that Steve Jobs of Apple, whose techno-god mantle Musk is clearly trying to take on, was famous for the fruits only diet he followed for years (as is shown in the recent biopic Jobs). In India we have long been used to businessmen who are vegetarian for community reasons, but abroad it seems that some are turning that way for shrewd reasons that combine practicality with publicity.

This is quite a change. For years, the world of business seemed to be the one place really resistant to vegetarianism. For centuries the point of being rich was eating what you want, and apart from India, that has meant meat. A vegetarian diet was for those too poor to eat anything else and as people got wealthier, the more meat they ate. Businessmen bonded over beef steaks and used their wealth to buy ever more exotic meats, like foie gras, sharks fin and fugu (potentially deadly blowfish). High pressure meant high protein, and changes in the business world, like the rise of Asia, simply meant more expensive non-vegetarian foods, like the way sushi has become a business dining staple.

Yet a few years back a business magazine published a story on the rise of the "Power Vegans" and while the number of business titans profiled — Ford Motors chairman Bill Ford, casino mogul Steve Wynn, real estate tycoon Mort Zuckerman — was not that large, there were some interesting factors in common. (Tech tycoons, like Musk, also featured, like Biz Stone, a co-founder of Twitter).

First, many of them were in businesses where having a high profile was important and with going vegetarian much in vogue among Hollywood celebrities, some of them seemed to be using that bandwagon (Michael Eisner, the erstwhile head of Disney is another rumoured vegetarian).

Second, it is notable how most of them were not just vegetarian, but even more rigorous vegans.

A vegan diet requires much more control, and can become quite expensive if one wants to consume all the exotic ingredients (chia seed, almond milk, seaweeds) that can become part of the diet, and this suits many businessmen with a mania for micromanaging all aspects of their life. Their wealth also enables the purchase of the required ingredients and, in a sense, a vegan diet can become a form of conspicuous consumption. Meat is now cheap in much of the West, so in an interesting twist, it is vegetarian/vegan food that is now prestigious. Wynn's casinos in Las Vegas, the Meccas of mega consumption, now all have extensive and expensive vegan menus.

And the health benefits don't hurt. The top business leaders know that their health is a matter of investor concern — Jobs' sad end and the speculation it lead to about Apple's future was again a wake-up call (though it should be noted how pointless his diet fads were in preventing it). Becoming a very public vegan sends out a signal that you are taking your health seriously and hopefully investors will think the same about your company's health.

Besides, there are also more personal benefits.

One vegan restaurant owner has been quoted on how the rise of power vegans tends to be linked to the rise of younger vegan wives. Many of these top tycoons get very publicly married again to young, glamorous women who are often strict vegans or vegetarians themselves. For a while at least, from a combination of wifely pressure and wanting to seem youthful, business tycoons might have good reason to take vegan diets to heart.

Put this article on same level with Smoking and Alcohol .
They don't kill U like cynide instead they are slow poison , They eat you away without your Knowledge/Knowing.
Dude people have been eating beef since adam and eve so how many do you think died of cancer ever since? Meat used to be primary source of nutrition for early men. Its all about keeping a balance and not going all tarzan on beef every time you see it. I eat and i go to gym as well and never had any thing more than seasonal allergies or flue.

It just a simple thing that beef is to hindus that bacon is to muslims. Rest is just bull.

People have confused increased risk to increased chance of death. If you risk of getting cancer is 0.36% , then eating red meat 4 times a week (unless you were already doing so) will increase by 0.36 + 0.36*0.2. I'm just giving a vague stat over the top of my head here. The actual statistical calculation will show risks even lower.
In short, don't go nuts over the data. Enjoy your meat but be responsible. Red Meat is obviously not very healthy if consumed in large amounts compared to what meat and veggies. Also, its much better for the environment to go green.

This message was issued in public interest while I chomp down on savoury lamb and flavoured rice with peas and bacon bits. :D
