Is not eating red meat unhealthy? I have been only eating white meat.

Eating every livestock, be it red or white meat in moderation is the wisest if you dont want to clog up your arteries.But of cos avoid the fatty parts of the meat even if its white meat.Always remember to eat fruits and vegetables after every meal of meat to help in the digestion of the meat eaten.Dont forget also to drink plenty of water too.

I'd say veggie; what could be wrong with eating vegetables and I'm sure that there are other ways to obtain protein\n   - I think meat has been linked to heart disease; matter of fact there was an article about the consumption of red meat on the front page of the Washington Post and the affects it has and how it makes women more prone to a certain kind of cancer but of course they will continue to sell it the same way they still sell milk

yes it's ok.. I mean we eat meat... the animal is killed anyway so why not by the hand of the individual rather the company\n\nbesides.. you get a deer and you'll have free meat all winter. \n\nit saves a lot of money and feeds you and family\n\nBesides.. hunting is actually a form of conservation.\n\nanimal populations have increased sense organized hunting has been inacted.\n\nit controls populations and kills off the weak and provides a more stable biodiversity\n\nI always use to feel bad about it but then I came to this realization...... a lot of animals are killed by cars or other accidents or even other predators.. so why not us and we are able to feed are families\n\n\nare we so far distant from the days when hunting was a necessity for providing food for family that today we cannot do it and be fair .. no\n\nhunting is not wrong when acted upon appropriatly and with a mature respect to nature and the causality of what ones effect/impact may have on wildlife..\n\nwith a mature mind... hunting is a good thing.. it is a course of nature\n\n\n\n\nps... I'm drunk.. and dammit. .I'm not going to read this over or spell check it.. but I hope I got a point across

I like white better.\nI would say I eat the two about equal. 50/50\nI probably eat it 3-4 times per week for supper.\nI like it well-done.  I can't stand seeing blood coming out.\nI don't really care about the risks.

As a former health educator, I love this question!  Diets without red meat, poultry, fish, ham, eggs, and dairy products are 'unnatural' in that mankind has evolved as omnivorous animals subsisting on both meat and vegetable matter.\n\nWhether one class of plant-matter-only diet is unhealthier than the next is like asking whether a dum-dum bullet will cause more damage than a shotgun at close range.\n\nHaving said that, I totally agree that western man eats too much junk food, too much processed food, too much fried food, too much fat, too much sugar, too much highly refined grain products, and yes, yes, way too much read meat and dairy products. I would also add he gets way too little exercise.\n\nOK, vegan diets are the vegetarian fad taken to the most illogical extreme.  Absolutely NO animal products are consumed, only fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts, and seeds. No eggs, cheese, yogurt, butter, or other milk products are eaten or drunk. And to repeat no animal products means no fish, pork or foul as well as no red meat.  You can sum up the dangers of the vegan diet by realizing one fact:  it is totally unhealthy for children and in some cases malnourished vegan children have been taken from their parents who have been cited for neglect.  \n\nIf the vegan does not believe in milk for herself how does she justify breast feeding or formula for her infant?  And because she is lactating, she is wilfully harming herself and her infant.  If she takes loads of supplements (vitamins and minerals and proteins) surely the ultimate source of those necessary and blessed supplements are in most cases animals, so she is at best a hypocrite.   Yes, there are benefits, but yes there are unnecessary deaths and debilities.  It's just too extreme and it is NOT omnivorous as it should be.\n\nSo-called mainstream vegetarian diets that are not so extreme on the other hand have much to recommend them.  Vegetarians suffer a much lower incidence of hypertension (high blood pressure), obesity, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers, especially of the colon, breast, uterus, and prostate. The fiber content of the diet is usually excellent, but nevertheless potential nutrient deficiencies are still a huge concern. \n\nLet us now choose to be intelligent, for a welcome change.  Just imagine a SEMI-VEGETARIAN that for example could go to a Chinese restaurant and unhesitatingly order combination fried rice with chunks of beef, chicken, shrimp, pork and egg as well as vegetables and grain (rice) and especially enjoy the egg drop soup.  This person by just the addition of this small amount of omnivorous fare, say twice a week, has catapulted their diet from suspect (say a 3 or 4 on a scale of 1-10 nutritionwise) all the way to a fullblown 10!!!  (By the way, the typical American diet rates a '1.5 or 2 at best in my book!) God gave us teeth for tearing meat for one reason . . . to eat meat with. Rip, rip, rip, rip!

I like the white meat. If you cook the turkey right, the white meat will not be dry.\nI just ate my turkey and it was delicious! Hope you are having a great Thanksgiving!

Very Unhealthy.  A good diet is a well balance diet, which means a good variety.  Eating samething no matter how healthy the food is runs the risk of missing certain nutrients.  The new standard for eating includes eating a variety of fruits and vegetable of varying colors.  The second suggestion is better, but still isn't healthy.  Synthetic foods often contains undesirable chemicals and probably does not have all the micronutrients the body craves.  If you eat salads, remember that lettuce has very little vitamins.  Their only value is in fiber.

Humans are omnivores. Their, vegans, claim is moral or a health consideration. They have little empirical support, though. So, eat meat in moderation, if you want.

Try to avoid eating meat products(chicken, beef, fish) 100%totally. Try to eat more vegetables and fruits. They are very healthy. I hope this helps. God bless you!

You do NOT need meat in your diet, contrary to what some others have said. I haven't eaten meat in 13 years and I'm still alive!\nYou do need to make sure you get enough protein. Veggie burgers, tofu, and other faux meat products are all great sources (check the veg seciton of your grocery store--there are lots of veggie meats to choose from!). Make sure you're eating your veggies, fruits and whole grains. Drink plenty of water!\nA pound of fat is worth 3500 calories...Sooo if you exercise off 500 calories a day, you can lose 1 pound a week (that's a lot of exercise and it may take you a while to work up to it). Cut your food calories back to like 1200 a day (dont go below this or you'll slow down your metabolism) and you can probably lose a second pound every week. I don't know if you can lose 80 pounds in 7 months...If you do what i've described, 50 should be no problem though.\nGood luck!

You can try other kinds of meat substitutes like seitan and tempeh.  \nAlso how about squash, eggplant, pumpkin, and tomatoes?\n\nI would consider consulting a doctor and nutrionist though b/c you probably are not meeting your dietary needs

Raw potatoes can give you fever...at least that's what we used to do when we were young to avoid going to school (I never tried it, so it could be a myth, but I definitely heard kids saying that). \nThere are some real fanatics who say that you should not cook food at all! \nPersonally, If you are trying to eat healthy, I suggest you leave out the potatoes. \nThe less you cook vegetables, the more their nutrients are preserved. It's a whole other question whether you can stomach eating only raw veggies for a long time. I couldn't!

Good question. Well your liver and kidneys can put up with a lot, but some things they just cant process. Like for instance too much carrots can turn you yellow, and thiamine acid can turn you reddish, but it would take a lot to do so. Also each person is different so consult your doctor. Bit from my point of view eating healthy is OK, just REALLY mo niter those supplements because accidents happen, and it could really hurt you. Your best bet is just to go talk to a doctor or nutritionist

We wouldn't eat meat if we weren't meateaters. Vegetarians are following a fad, not their instincts. \nWhat is the Indian word for bad hunter? Vegetarian!
