Do you think we who eat meat eat it every day?

Because I don't, and I don't know anyone who does.

I do. Can't remember the last time I had something that didn't have some sort of meat in it.

EDIT: For a meal. When I have a snack, I'm not just chewing on a piece of pork or something.

When I ate meat I ate it every day. Most of the time at least 2 meals per day possibly 3 depending on what I had for breakfast. I'm sure glad that I stopped.

Okay, that's just unhealthy.

I like meat. LOVE a good burger. But I know too much red meat will lead to major health problems and our bodies simply aren't designed to process pork. It doesn't keep me from eating it, but I'm not about to eat it every day. I worked in kitchens for awhile when I was younger and learned that, unless your making a burger of having a steak or whole/half chicken breast or some such thing, meat actually works better to compliment and absorb other flavours. Small amounts of small pieces is the way to go and, often with those sorts of dishes, you wouldn't totally miss the meat if it weren't there. Meat every day is incredibly unhealthy, especially if you mostly eat red meat and pork. That stuff sits in your colon forever.

Yes fish counts. Fish is not a vegetable and anyone who claims to be a vegetarian but eats fish is a bold faced liar.

Agree with the bolded part.

The human body has no problem processing chicken and fish is probably the single healthiest meat there is.

On the subject of fish not being meat, anyone else find it hilarious that the Catholic Church bans meat on Fridays but fish is fine?

Also, veg, are you saying you.disagree with the rest? It still condones eating meat, but a lot less than apparently is currently being eaten.

I don't care who says it. FISH IS NOT A VEGETABLE. IF YOU EAT FISH YOU ARE EATING A FLESH PRODUCT AND YOU ARE NO LONGER MEATLESS. I don't know what idiot came up with the fallacy that you can eat fish and still be vegetarian but he has no idea what the hell he is talking about. That is akin to saying that you don't do drugs you just sniff cocaine on Friday nights. Also some of what it said made some sense but I really liked the bolded part.
