Research exists to show beef is bad for you, and so is pork, and they even say stuff about Turkey, etc. etc.

Everyone says chicken is good, but some people say being vegan/vegetarian is the 'only way to go' (nothing to do morally).


Morals and beliefs aside, how bad for you is chicken?

Birth is the leading cause of death. Everything else is just a contributing factor. If you enjoy eating chicken, go for it, same with beef and pork.

I think you mean incisors. Molars are for eating plants; mashing and so forth.

Or incisors.

There is nothing "bad for you" in meat. Nor more than an apple is bad for you.

There's nothing bad for you about beef. Has nothing to do with the meat - perhaps the fatty tissue that you will consume, but you can always trim it up if you want or get leaner cuts

The whole meat is bad for you thing is just vegetarians trying to push their own beliefs on others.

It's kinda ridiculous. I mean they push their vegan ways on people and it's kind of like a religion to a lot of veggies.

You don't see people out pushing meat on people really.

I say just eat whatever and however you want, and keep it to yourself.

Actually, molars are for eating plants. If we were herbivores, we wouldn't have K9's and incisor teeth.

There is nothing "bad for you" in meat. Nor more than an apple is bad for you.

If you eat a high volume of apple seeds, you will die. There's poison in apple seeds in very low doses. IIRC it's arsenic or SN or something. Whatever the poison is, it's a very well known, extremely fatal poison.

I gotta agree with this guy here. ^

It all depends on how you prepare it. Boneless, skinless, grilled chicken breasts are fine. Deep fat fried KFC? - not so much.

I hate when I go and post something that I'm thinking, without thinking about it.

I have heard science say all meat requires much more time for our systems to digest it. They also said eating large amounts of meat often is not advised. Like said above though science can probably prove either side of this argument.

Only some cuts of pork are "bad for you". Some are quite good.

Chicken is one of the "healthier" non-veg protein sources. Some fish are better, but many are not suitable to be eaten daily due to mercury levels.

Then they dope up the cows with steroids to make them bigger, give them atibiotics. Same goes for chickens. Pork is raised in the least amount of time, so it has less time to absorb cancer causeing carcinogens from the environment.

Nothing like Pork Chops and Fried Potatoes to make one healthy.

You believe this right?
