"The beef industry has contributed to more American deaths than all the wars of this century, all natural disasters, and all automobile accidents combined. If beef is your idea of `real food for real people,' you'd better live real close to a real good hospital."
--Neal D. Barnard, M.D., President, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, Washington, D.C.

"When we kill the animals to eat them, they end up killing us because their flesh, which contains cholesterol and saturated fat, was never intended for human beings."
--William C. Roberts, M.D., editor of The American Journal of Cardiology

"All red meat contains saturated fat. There is no such thing as truly lean meat. Trimming away the edge ring of fat around a steak really does not lower the fat content significantly. People who have red meat (trimmed or untrimmed) as a regular feature of their diets suffer in far greater numbers from heart attacks and strokes."
--Michael Klaper, M.D., Medical Director, EarthSave Foundation, Santa Cruz, California

"If you step back and look at the data, the optimum amount of red meat you eat should be zero."
--Walter Willett, M.D., of Brigham and Women's Hospital, director of a study that found a close correlation between red meat consumption and colon cancer.

"Usually, the first thing a country does in the course of economic development is to introduce a lot of livestock. Our data are showing that this is not a very smart move and the Chinese are listening. They are realizing that animal-based agriculture is not the way to go.... We are basically a vegetarian species and should be eating a wide variety of plant food and minimizing our intake of animal foods.... "Once people start introducing animal products into their diet, that's when the mischief starts."
--T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., of Cornell University, director of a study of 6,500 Chinese that found a close correlation between meat consumption and the incidence of heart disease and cancer.

"The thousands of people who have suffered food poisoning after eating beef will, no doubt, appreciate that their beef was aesthetically acceptable, even though it made them ill. `Lovely to look at, dangerous to eat' is not a standard that is likely to help beef sales."
--Carol Tucker Foreman, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture during the Carter administration, commenting on the inadequacy of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Streamlined (Meat) Inspection System (SIS).

In every respect, vegans appear to enjoy equal or better health in comparison to both vegetarians and non-vegetarians.
--T. Colin Campbell, PhD Professor of Nutrition, Cornell University (letter dated 3/29/98)

The human body has no more need for cows' milk than it does for dogs' milk, horses' milk, or giraffes' milk.

He was referring to farm raised beef, as opposed to wild animals. farm raised beef, in particular grain-fed beef, has orders of magnitude higher levels of cholesterol and saturated fat than the wild animals your canine teeth used to consume. Thats the whole point of "grain-finishing" the animals - to boast intra muscular fat.

FTA: "The government bans numerous victuals like lungs that Cosentino would love to toss into a skillet. "Cow's udder is absolutely delicious-it's a shame I can't serve it," he says."

Wow.

I've eaten some very unusual foods in my time, but I absolutely draw the line at lungs.
Wouldn't that be like eating cotton candy, texture-wise? Or maybe a kitchen sponge?

 
Jedoc 2008-05-17 11:30:34 AM  
If he did years of experiments and decided that this particular combination of meat bits made for the tastiest burgers, I've got no problem with it. Barbacoa is pretty much the best burrito meat there is.

If he just decided to throw in a bunch of cow chunks for the novelty of it, he's sort of a jackass.

yes, it has about the same texture as a kitchen sponge. Its pretty gross. It times long past, peasants used to stuff the lungs with other bits 'n pieces and then boil the whole package.

You gotta do what you gotta do to survive, i suppose.

I like calamari. The texture isn't bad, but it never has much flavor. You really have to have a good sauce with it.
Oysters? Love 'em. Need a bit of something to offset the occasional muddy taste, though.
Snakes, lizards, armadillos, bizarre fishes, squirrels.....

off course human milk contains lactose. babys can consume lactose. They lose their ability as they grow older....and hence stop drinking milk.....

why would you continue to drink milk thats really designed for cows not humans? Oh, and babies cant just drink cows milk alone and get their dietary requirements. Cows milk isnt meant for them. It doesnt provide complete nutrition.
