Yeah scientists say a lot of things, did you know every second you're alive you are one more second closer to death? I say eat what makes you happy I would rather die sooner happy than live a billion years unhappy.

Well said. I'm sure in the next 10 years these same scientists will find that meat wasn't as bad as they thought.

Celery was always better than meat in my opinion.

They also told me that I would get hairy palms.

I see where this is going.

Yep - living life is the biggest cause of death.

I'd rather enjoy life and die a little early than spend my whole life worrying about what lifestyle choices might kill me - and then get hit by a bus anyway.

You should have posted this in the "which is your favourite sausage" thread

I'm pretty sure I'm at like 6000% risk already, another steak won't hurt.

All our beef has had mad cow for a while so If I'm not dead yet I should be good.

I must be a walking tumor by now.

Given the extraordinarily long list of things that can kill me these days, I feel it only fair that I give meat an equal shot at putting me under

That is the most humorous thing I have read in a week.

"Study shows"?? I've known that for decades.

Yes, I glanced through the study and it seems to be pretty well conducted. However, it's still a prospective study (ie observational), so causation isn't proven yet. In addition, they studied those that were 50-71, so I should be safe for a while

Seriously though, while it may be significant, I wouldn't go cut red meat out of my diet. What they're pretty much saying is, 'don't eat red meat in excess'... which is true for almost everything anyways.


Thanks for the interesting read though
