seems its safer not to eat
beef fed with hormones,
chicken fed with with chicken,
crops sprayed with chemicals,
and dont drink the chemicals get in the water,
and dont breath, the air is polluted
and dont have sex, you might catch something,
and dont die, its too expensive , you might be cremated and cause more pollution,

Just got back from my free NHS check-up (for old people).
Confirmed I'm still alive.
I've lost a half inch in height since being 18. 6'1" now, but weigh the same.
Blood pressure 129/69 (I smoke 6 or 7 cigs a day).
Blood tests results next week. Hmm.

From red meat to plaform shoes, via dog poo, overflowing reservoir's and crushed velvet pants
Diversity really is the spice of life
You just couldn't make it up

A new news story on this controversial topic.....
"Eating an extra portion of red meat every day will increase your risk of death by 13% annually, according to a new study. It sounds scary - but is it?"

Even the definition of meat types is not entirely consistent, which doesn’t make health studies easy ! Red meat is darker-coloured ( before cooking ), and contains more iron, in the form of haem, compared to white meat. Meat of adult mammals such as cows and sheep is considered red ; young mammals such as veal calves, sheep, pigs, together with chicken have white meat ; pork is variably called red or white; duck and goose meat are considered red. Liver may be called red meat, or included as offal / variety or organ meat ( internal organs and entrails ).
The professor (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-17389938) tries to put the latest “ health scare “ media reports into context ( as I did in #6 ).
His example was of two men aged 40, same weight, exercise and job, the difference being that one eats an extra portion ( 85g = 3 oz ) of red meat every day.
"The person who eats more meat is expected to live one year less than the person who doesn't eat so much meat. You'd expect the 40-year-old who does eat the extra meat to live, on average, another 39 years, up to age 79, and the person who doesn't eat so much meat, you'd expect him to live until age 80."
“ That one year off the life of this 40-year-old hypothetical burger eater is equivalent to smoking two cigarettes a day, or being a bit overweight - about 5kg overweight. “
Of course his example is hypothetical because no two humans are completely alike, not even “ identical twins “. It’s hard to conduct randomised trials where eating habits are concerned. Research workers do their best, then get misquoted in the media and misunderstood by the public.
My brother is a butcher, and - while it may not be statistically significant - the latest “ health scare story “ has made no difference to what his customers think or buy !

If anything, this study has motivated me to cut down on the 'red meats' we consume and focus more on chicken and fish.
Not necessarily due to health concerns but more because we actually enjoy chicken and fish more and besides, from a financial aspect it's easier on the wallet.

Nice definition of what is white and what is red Alan.
I myself have just finished two rounds of smoked bacon butties for my lunch.... yummm!!!
I am sure that these scare stories only get to raise their heads when the media want us to focus on news other that the regular gloom we see. Stories like this are made to hit everyone, not just the few in the headlines.
I eat red meat, I eat white meat, I eat a salad three times a week with a jacket potatoe and a piece of meat. Each day in my lunch I eat at least two different fruits and a yoghurt. A varied diet and everything in moderation is fine. If I live a year less over an 80 year lifetime I have faired well already. I am not planning to change my eating pattern just because of a report in the news.If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up

Those brought up on Beatrix Potter, the author of “Squirrel Nutkin” and other long-loved nursery tales, may flinch; but Andrew Thornton, manager of the Budgens supermarket in the north London suburb of Crouch End, says sales of squirrel meat have soared since he started selling it in 2010.
The bushy-tailed tree-dwellers are just one category in a burgeoning market. Presumably - whether it’s red squirrel meat or grey squirrel meat – it comes with a warning : “ May contain nuts “ ! Read more …

It sounds like most folk posting here are already exercising a modicum of balance. But it isnt always the case. Some people do eat excesses of red meat or processed meat etc. I used to work with a bloke who lived on Macdonalds burgers everyday, for example. And I am sure a full english every morning is something to be concerned about.
I know 1 year in 80 is of little consequence to most folk and rightly so, but it is obvious to me that some people get old far too prematurely compared to others. And of course this can be down to many factors. But one I am sure is the kind and amount of meat that we eat. Using Terpe's expression of minimising risk for visa applications can also be applied in our diet etc to minimising the chances of premature ageing.
I still feel that part of the Scottish problem and I have to confess I could never prove it, is down to a combination of that bit more alcohol, a penchant for a full english breakfast every day and an excess of deep fried mars bars etc . That one slice of bacon everyday maybe in itself will have negligible consequences, but when combined with a heap of other contributing "factors" in our diet and in our ways of life etc etc lead to premature old age.
I love bacon. And I was very fortunate to work in Denmark for a few years where I had freshly baked rolls stuffed with Danish Bacon every morning. Loved em. But I dont think they did me a lot of good.

This dude seems to put it into perspective.
Is Red Meat Hazardous to Your Health?
Dr. Marc Gillinov discusses the association between red meat and poor health.
He really puts the accent on processed red meat and the additives added in the process.
