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.

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!

Definitely. I already eat liver, hearts and gizzards. I'm pretty open-minded when it comes to food. I'll try any food once.

Of course we eat food...what kind of question is that.\n\nI appreciate any food I receive or buy as long as it isn't rotten.\n\nI really like steak and mashed potatoes.

Honey, you nailed it. There is nothing wrong with it.  I personally think hunters have gotton a bad rep because of the booze hound idiots that tie the dead deer to the hood of the car like a buick ornament. Which i believe to be very disrespectful to such a beautiful creature.  My sweetie hunts every weekend, and because of that I havnt bought ground beef in over 3 years.  He doesnt go "killin" for sport.  He does it for the meat. You are right. The population, unchecked would be devastating for the environment.  People that are too damn sensitive, think its "cruel" and "mean".  But these are the same people that enjoy a good veal steak without a second thought as to the misery they put that animal through and the hormones and antibiotics they are consuming. They probably wear fur coats too, and i wont get into how barbaric a practice that is.  Not to mention, hunting is a wonderful recreation. It teaches patience, respect, safety, and a general appreciation for nature to young folks.  SO no, there is nothing wrong with hunting.  And dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

Different people hunt for different resons. Here is mine. I eat meat. Meat comes from two sources. Farms where they are fenced in or penned up and then hauled off to be killed and cut up for sell in the store. Meat from this source is ok, but there is the issue of growth hormones in the feed and so on and fat content. The other way to get meat for eatin is by hunting. The meat from here is running wild and free and often times goes without gettin taken by the hunter. The meat is leaner and taste better to me and i know how it was handled afterwards. I know it was kept clean and processed right. I cant know how store bought meat was handled before i buy it. \n     Some people hunt with their minds toward trohpies or in the case of varmit hunting it is target shooting and maybe population control of a animal that is sometimes desctructive to property and maybe other wild animals. I dont hunt for trophies and i dont use animals for displays of my shootin abilities. I hunt for meat/food. And i will also shoot a coyote from time to time as they play hell with the baby deer in the spring and have really run down the groundhog population here. In some ways coyotes are a non native animal to indiana.\n     If people didnt hunt deer there would many more deer/car wrecks which might be you or someone you care about being hurt or killed. Ive seen cases where deer have overpopulated and starved themselves in a location. I dont like the hunting shows on TV. They give a bad impression of whats really going on. There are people who hunt who i dont like, and i dont like their wreckless attitude, but hunting in the right way and for the right reasons is not a bad thing. It is just not for everyone i guess.\n        shane

I like veggies. I don't believe God really cares about you being a vegetarian. As for the dominion we have it without slaughtering animals. Adam and Eve never ate meat in the garden of eden only afterwards did God say that you could. So having dominion is control of them(Which we still do).

The human digestion tract is not built to digest animal protein constantly.  More people should go vegetarian.  Not only is it better for the environment, it is better for your health.  It takes much less toll on the land to grow plants than it takes to have a pasture of cattle.  Your risks for so many diseases are drastically reduced if you include primarily vegetarian protein sources (heart disease, certain cancers).  Hunting should only be done if it is a necessity to survive.  This should not be done simply for sport.  There are so many alternatives to leather and fur these days that are fashionable and less costly and less barbaric than wearing dead animal skins.

It isnt proved as of yet that blood type has an affect on what we eat. You have a pretty healthy diet, everything from the *right* food group. i myself like a good nice tasty steak, but that goes st8 to the thighs lol, veges, rice, fruit, eggs, beans? your getting all your needed vitamins and stuff from there with the inclusion of fish where you would be getting omega-3 and stuff, if you add nuts: such as pine nuts, cashew nuts, well just nuts you will be giving your body much needed protien.

Yeah I m vegetarian and completely understand ur dilemma in this world.\nIt's a hard decision but I am sure there are good number of humane guys over there (well i know as I m one of them ;))

Yeah, I wouldn't eat raw meat.  You'll end up with something that you haven't counted on.....

well basically what you eat does have alot of affect on your habits. forexample carnivores who eat meat are stronger and vicious than other herbivores. so i think that explains their victory and defeat

The bible was written by man and has been interpreted and twisted many times over.  Nobody really knows what the original books looked like.  Some of these things were surely taken out of context.  You can take anything and twist it into something it isn't.  Also lets face it times change.  Many believe the part of the bible (forgive me I cant give you an exact place) that tells you not to eat certain things such as animals with a split hoof (pork) were written for the protection of the people at the time.  Can you imagine what food poisoning rates must have been like before the fridge and stove?  Not to mention the safety practices of the FDA keeping our meat safe for us.  So the church asked us not to eat unsafe things.  Food poisoning still happens but I don't believe that I am going to hell for eating the pork chops in my freezer.  (of course some religions hold this belief very dear...please excuse me no offense intended) With religion you must have faith in what you believe.  God also gave us the wisdom to choose what we believe.  Are you asking us to tell you what to believe?  It sounds like you are having issues with your faith and are unsure where to place your belief.  I suggest you seek counseling within the church.  They can answer these questions for you.

I won't eat meat that's not cooked through. When I was in the Army cross training with the Queens 1st Paratroopers in England, I learned that the only raw meat that is safe to eat is the liver. (survival Training)

Unfortunately, my dear child, welcome to the human race. In the midst of the many enlightened people are the overwhelming amount of fools and idiots who make up the rest of the herd. I plan on going and reading your question about cannibalism...but back to your original question. Some people on YA are just after the points. They have to answer something so they are derogatory. It's easier to be flippant than to come up with a well thought out meaningful answer. Some don't read anymore of the question than just the tag line. Some are in serious need of medical help themselves, bless them. it gets worse over in the category of "Religion and Spirituality", trust me. Keep your chin up and realize many of these fools have nothing better to do. It's not you. It's them.\n\nYour question on cannibalism was well thought out. And yes, yes I would. To be perfectly honest.

Absolutely, your body produces digestive enzymes and fluids that allow for the digestion of the high amounts of fat and proteins found in meat. With a few exceptions, humans are omnivores.\n\nYou may be right about the health problems associated with meat. A lot of the meats we eat are highly processed and not entirely healthy. Personally, I think meats are a superior protein source, bar none. Few vegetable sources can compete with meat and other animal products as substantial protein sources. Generally, I think meat is a great part of a normal diet, provided it's reasonably lean and eaten in reasonable moderation. \n\nI like the occasional plate of tofu. I just keep it low because it's a soy product. Soy is thought to raise estrogen levels in the bloodstream. This poses a problem for me and my efforts at body building. So, I stick to the meat and the dairy for most of my protein.

1. We found out my son had cancer when he was examined in a hospital for what we thought was hypothyroidism\n\n2. He had a difficult time eating at first because the cancer had metastasized. The primary tumor was extremely large and had displaced his heart and compressed his stomach. He could only take small bites. Oddly he didn't look like he'd lost weight because his belly was swollen with fluid.\n\n3. He eats a lot of pizza!!\n\nWe found out that finding something that appealed to him was the most important thing. It's all about calories at that point! It seemed to have worked too . . . he's doing quite well, and still eats pizza. ;-)
