    Is there any scientific evidence for this, or is it thought to be bad for you in the way that butter or eggs used to be?

    I’ve been working away a lot and tend to have a steak most nights- which has to be healthier than other menu options (pizza, burger, goats cheese something etc).

    Actual meat – probably not.

    ‘Processed’ ie cured or preserved – yes.

    I think it depends on the type of meat. Organic grass fed meat is going to be better than your mcdonalds meat which has been fed on grain

    What happens if he’s a diplodocus? I think your question lacks the necessary specificity to be pertinent.

    ….in which case, eat whatever the hell you like.

    Merely the opening salvo in an investigatory chain of questioning.

    Next question would have been “Are you a Diplodocus?”

    Are you having chips everyday with your steak and accompanied with a nice bottle of red wine?

    Daily Red Meat can be part of a ‘healthy balanced diet’ – well, in the UK at least, US beef can contain growth hormones, US says they’re safe, EU banned them, US said it was purely a economic measure, EU says they’re bad for you.

    Depends on what else you’re eating – I wouldn’t live on Beef Burgers and Chips every day.

    No alcohol. A few fries and watercress salad. And a big **** off steak.

    I suspect in our modern life we eat far too much meat. Meat is a far more efficient food and the switch from vegetarians to meat eaters was the key to us developing our brains and evolving further. If you look at any other meat eating animal in nature they will eat meat, then not eat for days or even weeks before getting hungry again and going out to hunt. I suspect in our caveman days we’d eat meat every couple of weeks, then forage on veg, seeds and nuts in between before going out and hunting again.

    I suspect eating meat every day is not bad for you as such, but the volume of meat most eat and the quality (or lack of) is the problem.

    “Are you a Diplodocus?”

    Obviously he’s not, they’ve got elephants feet so wouldn’t be able to hold the steak knife would they?

    Could a T-Rex actually get a fork from a plate to it’s mouth though?

    You wouldn’t want a steak knife for an Elephants foot.

    I thought it was cooking food which made the biggest difference? You can get far more calories/goodness from cooked carrots than raw carrots.

    Put a fork on a plate, put your hands behind your back and, whilst keeping them there, get the fork in your mouth.*

    Easy.

    *be careful of the tines

    No i wouldn’t. And for the record i never want to hear about your meat sword.

    So, if I’m not a caveman, not a diplodocus or a T-Rex, have grass fed, medium rare steak everyday, not washed down with a bottle of red, I’ll be OK?

    You’d be better drinking half the bottle of red than none of it. Red wine’s a health drink.

    I’ll be OK

    Yes

    We have not evoled to eat such a meat heavy diet, in particular red meat. In general “we” eat too much especially meat and excersize too little

    Cut out the carbs and just eat a rare steak, you’ll be fine.

    Argentinians have been doing just that for 100 years or so, can’t see them complaining much.

    worked for me last hitch when there was a lack of chicken or palateable other meat …. and the veg was pretty rank too.

    Dinner every night pretty much consisted of bbq medium rare sirloin.

    didnt do my guts any good though , constantly bloated and when i needed to poo …. they were some giant poos.

    but im not dead….. just being sure to mix it up this hitch now that white meat is availible again AND batatas doce are back in stock 😀

    I think the biggest issue with red meat is the time it takes to process it. Eating it constantly would probably leave you in a constant state of bloatedness trying to get rid of it all the time.

    I think that’s fairly contentious isn’t it?

    Only if it’s still alive. Otherwise fill yer boots.

    Might not be bad for you but could be for other animals if the food is being transported a long distance. New Zealand lamb FFS might as well melt the ice caps and shoot the polar bears yourself.

    I think that this is one of those questions that presently lacks a yes or no answer, it depends who you ask. I think that it also depends who you are to some degree.

    Hom Sap are not “meat eaters”. We have the same gut as our primate cousins , ie a long one evolved for fruit and veg. There are enough brain size/development theories to fill a library from social grouping to tool use to walking upright to cooking their food. but probably not: “we started eating meat”.

    Humans have evolved to eat a huge range of stuff. Probably a key to our success. So arguing over a particular foodstuff on evolutionary grounds is probably rubbish.
