Question

plz help i've got food coursework on meat help!!!!!

Answer 1

I would think that besides the cholesterol and fats it would be the digestive process,,,I have heard that consuming red meats takes a toll on the colon...but what do I know!!!! Pass the steak please!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Well, some doctors say that eating red meat can cause cancer, but that's not sure. It's because when the animal is killed his body produces some toxins (because he's afraid) which remain in the meat. So, when you eat red meat, you eat it with toxins in it.
Another disadvantage comes from the fact that humans must eat "live food", meaning fruits and vegetables, which bring nutrients, while red meat comes from a dead animal so it doesn't bring positive energy.
But this is what I've heard, so I can't say that it's corect information. I'm not a vegetarian (yet), but I try to avoid eating dead creatures.

Answer 3

Its slaughter, its disgusting! National Post columnist Robert Fulford also wrote in defence of eating horse meat back in September: One day in the middle of the last century, the tabloids of Britain filled their pages with a scandal involving horses. They reported that honest horses, born and bred in England, were being slaughtered and transported across the Channel to be eaten by ... the French! Everyone in England, so far as newspaper readers could tell, considered this monstrous. I recalled that sensation many years later when, visiting Padua in northern Italy, I ordered carne di cavallo. The waitress assumed I was on the point of making a blunder. "You do know," she asked, "that is horse?" It was, in fact, the equine equivalent of porterhouse steak, and tasty too. She couldn't believe that someone speaking English would actually choose to eat part of a horse.

In addition to the saturated fat that can clog arteries, the animals are given growth hormones, antibiotics etc. that can effect you. Of the foods that we eat, meat takes the longest to digest (about 5 hrs) and requires the most energy.
