AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the health implications of consuming beef compared to chicken, with some participants suggesting that beef is extremely unhealthy, likening it to eating wood or instant ramen. However, others argue that while large quantities of red meat can be detrimental, it does provide essential nutrients and fats that are beneficial for health. The conversation also touches on the digestibility of red meat and the perception that it may not contribute positively to health due to its long digestion time. Participants express preferences for chicken, citing lower cholesterol levels, while some still enjoy beef. The debate includes humorous exchanges about cooking preferences and personal dietary habits, with a mix of serious and light-hearted commentary on meat consumption.

Eating large quantities of red meat can be bad for you but not as you seem to be describing. You do get nuitrients, fats, and such that you need from red meat unlike if you were to eat wood or ramen as you mention. The only source of this idea I can think of is that red meat takes a very long time to fully digest and so someone may have come to the conclusion that if it just sits in your bowels it must not be doing much for you.

Not from the cow's point of view. Say, you're not the president of Chick-fil-A are you?

I eat A LOT of chicken. Maybe two breasts a day. I love a great streak, but most low cuts of beef and anything ground makes me stomach sick.

Damn! You beat me to it.
We eat a lot of chicken and fish, probably more than red meat, but I still have to snag some beef when I have a chance. (W has cholesterol problems, so my diet is partially regulated by hers.)
As I've said before, the perfect fast food consists of a chainsaw and a cow--fire is optional.
