Can you give me some reason why eating differents meats are bad for you?

Question

My friend told me that eating meat does this and that. I just need some facts.

Answer 1

Eating meat, if not the most leanest of cuts, can contribute additional fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol to name a few. Meat-rich diets (because of the fat, sat. fat, cholesterol, etc) often contribute to heart problems, heart disease, heart attacks, the clogging of arteries, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol to name a few. There is also the added risk of food-borne illnesses. The main culprit of mad cow disease is the prions, which cannot be killed under normal cooking conditions, it requires over 134 degrees celcius in order to kill the prions. E-coli and other bacterial infections are also rare, but nonetheless, a risk. Listeria is also something to be careful about. The same can be said for vegetables to be fair (Hep-C, E-coli, etc). There are many other risks taken when eating meat products.

Eating different meats really isn't really that bad for you, you just have to be smart in your choices. Personally I don't, as I don't stomach suffering and torture well, but to each his own.

Answer 2

fact- Most Americans eat too much protien. Meat is pure protien. We actually need much less than most people realize, and way much less than most Americans eat

Fact- All commercially raised meat animals (cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, etc..) are pumped full of hormones and antibiotics. This is not good for us to consume.

Fact- Much, MUCH commercially raised meat is diseased. This is inevitable because of the living conditions and diet that these poor animals are forced to live with.

Fact- Cows are meant to eat grass. But to make them fatter and bigger faster, to make more money, commercial beef raisers feed them feed which contains ground up sheep (this is exactly how mad cow disease started), cows which are too diseased to be sold as human food, horomones and steroids, etc..

Fact: It has been proven that vegetarians have less cancers, heart disease, and other health problems. This is because they are not consuming diseased meat, or overloading their systems with protien, fat, and cholesterol.

Answer 3

If you watch the film or read the book Fast Food Nation you will see that the meat supply is tainted. There are hormones, antibiotics and possibly feces in meat. Thats why they say to cook it thoroughly, to kill the bacteria. Meat contributes to higher cholesteral levels and cancer risks are also higher.

Answer 4

Fat,cholesterol,antibiotics and hormones they feed the animals you eat all go into your system.And all meat digests by rotting away inside your body.

Answer 5

Meat eaters are more likely to develop certain cancers, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease and other diseases.

Answer 6

I think! Because you don't know WTH they are putting in the cows... I feel that way about the milk tooo... and with all these potential epidemics.. I'm starting to feel that way about the chicken and turkey's too....

Answer 7

Some cow meat may carry mad cow disease, but other than that, it has more cholesterol, fat, and calories than anything vegetarian.

Answer 8

Watch your fat content when eating beef especially. The leaner the better. There's nothing wrong with chicken & turkey, as long as you remove the skin before eating.
