the sooner we get away from BEEF

even a half cup of coffee has more polyphenols than a tablespoon of OLIVE OIL!

"Study volunteers followed a diet free of tomato products for 3 weeks, followed by a high tomato diet (13.5 ounces tomato juice and 1 ounce tomato ketchup daily). At the end of the high tomato diet period, study participants' total cholesterol levels had dropped an average of 5.9%, with LDL cholesterol levels reduced by 12.9%. Blood samples also showed increases in lycopene, beta-carotene and gamma-carotene-antioxidant carotenoids found in tomatoes-plus a 13% increase in the ability of circulating LDL cholesterol to resist oxidation."

Br J Nutr. 2007 Dec;98(6):1251-8. Epub 2007 Jul 9.
Tomato juice decreases LDL cholesterol levels and increases LDL resistance to oxidation.


Gee wiz, "Rabbit food" who'da thank it be so good for you? Where's the beef?? LOL


GIVE BEEF DA BOOT!! :D
 
Agreed

Quote from killthesunshine:

Although not the reason i avoid meat, every humane human would agree the conditions these animals must endure is appalling, and smthg should be done about it.

The year of emergence, 1998, was the year North Carolina's pig population hit ten million, up from two million just six years earlier.[12] Concurrently, the number of pig farms was decreasing, from 15,000 in 1986 to 3,600 in 2000.[13] How can five times more animals be raised on almost five times fewer farms? By crowding about 25 times more pigs into each operation.

In the 1980s, more than 85% of all North Carolina pig farms had fewer than 100 animals. By the end of the 1990s, operations confining more than 1,000 animals controlled about 99% of the state's pig population.[14] Given that the primary route of swine flu transmission is thought to be the same as human flu—via droplets or aerosols of infected nasal secretions[15]—it's no wonder experts blame overcrowding for the emergence of new flu virus mutants

Killthesunshine, do not read this and think people can get swine flu, any flu from eating meat, not true, ok?
Meat has very good nutrients, BUT the farm factory to put too many animals too close together raising them and transport them is HUGE health risk. But that is big profit for some.
