Blimey, I responded to Charlie's earlier point, and thought the thread would die a quick death. I then drove to Lincoln, had a meeting and then read this thread having lunch...bloody hell! (Also, it is pescatarian if you continue to eat fish Charlie). Each to their own I guess, but even gelatine makes me feel off (acidy) perhaps I'm not suited to eat it anyway. As I said, I never liked the taste and for 39 years I have managed quite well without meat. I always ate fish and seafood, but even they have gone by the board these days. As a uni bod I'm sorry to say it DMD but Airlie Tiger's summation re research and peer review is correct! I'm not up for, or rather don't have time for an argument either - so no comeback needed - oddly and coincidentally, I have some articles to peer review... PS> I have just had a lovely salad including a free range egg...(Heinz salad cream of course)
I never argued about what peer review was, I simply made a flippant comment about his dismisal of who I do or don't talk to.
Lincoln, gelatine is bloody lovely. Yes I know what it's made out of and that makes me want it even more. Top of my places to visit list is Iceland at new year. One of the major reasons for that is because boiled sheeps head is a traditional Icelandic new year delicacy. The eyes, the brains the lot. Its supposed to be delicious, it looks delicious too!
Your right, either diet can be healthy if done properly, I also believe the increase in certain diseases within meat eaters is much more to do with lifestyle choices than just the meat. Although even a healthy meat based diet is probably just beaten by a vegetarian one due to the reduction in cholesterol, saturated fats and hormones. I think its much more down to the fact the vegetarians in general think about their food a lot more and make informed choices, meat eaters are much more habitual and stick to the same (sometimes unhealthy) foods.
I used to employ a vegan, I don't know what it was that she ate for lunch(it looked like sand with tinned mixed veg), but it absolutely stank and I banned her from eating in the office. She wasn't happy about this and left, which was good, as she was smelly, Welsh and rather dim. She went to Ted Baker, but was there less than six months, so I assume they also found her smelly and dim.
If we weren't supposed to eat meat God wouldn't have created the following; 1. Snodgers. 2. Donner meat. 3. Chicken Madras. Case closed. I tried being a veggie once, lasted three days then gave up when I was offered a chicken balti pie.
If you've had an almost carnivore diet for years an the damage be undone? I'm thinking about switching to a more fruit based diet, I don't like many vegetables and I don't see the point in forcing myself into eating something that tastes like ****.
I would murder you all in cold blood if it meant having a bacon sandwich in a morning. And if I couldn't get any bacon, well, I'd just start eating people. Although not vegetarians, I don't have the stomach/appendix/basement for them.
OLM, vegans are not particularly smelly because of their diet. In her case she probably didn't wash. She clearly did for the interview mind, as you gave her a job!
They had some turkey bacon on offer in the shop the other day so I tried it. I based it on its own merits and tried not to compare it to bacon as a substitute. It was nice actually.
I doubt you've done yourself much damage at all to be honest, the only thing to watch out for is cholesterol but that can be reversed whilst still eating meat. Try simple things like only eating red meat once or twice a week, sticking to turkey/chicken, avoid processed meats (sausages and burgers) if you really want them make you own, replace a few of meat meals a week with fish. Just doing that and having a few more veggies will make a drastic difference.
Which aisle is it down cos I've looked all over for it in the Iceland on Springbank and can't find it?
It was her food that was smelly, rather than her, though she did quite often have a whiff of lunch about her.
I don't buy it on its own but it's bloody lovely in a pork pie. There's a local farm shop that does enormous porky piggy pies and they're stuffed full of it, they're delicious. I'd recommend going to a farm or butchers for it, on account the stuff that's in supermarket piggy pies is ****e and I imagine that the stuff they'd sell would be the same.
The only thing I could never give up is tomatoes. They are my everyday go to food. I can eat them by the bucket load. I tried that almond milk instead of cows mik as like you read about the stuff in it. It was awful, ended up throwing it away.
