Thread: one for the young Greenies.

If I do not eat red meat at least once a week, I get really tired.

Do you know of anyone who is allergic to meat?

I know plenty of people who are allergic to grains.

And who can afford to eat meat these days, I reckon the high cost for our aussie meat, may have turned a lot of us meat eaters into eating more veges, oh no, not hamburger mince again. It doesn't matter how you try to reconstitute it it never tastes like steak

There are people allergic to meat, but no one on earth is allergic to pears...

This is irrelevant to the original point, but interesting nonetheless.

A pear diet would be very uninteresting and lead to dietary deficiencies. It is also likely to lead to diarrhoea because of the high concentrations of sugars in the fruit.

Also you may like to review the following articles about pear allergy:

The reality is that individuals can develop allergies to any protein, including those contained in pears although pear allergy is quite rare.

Yes, why does red meat now cost more than chicken?

I remember when chicken was the more expensive option.

As I said in an earlier post, Sunday roast when I was young was chook, and it was regarded as a special treat.

From wikipedia;

"Meat allergy is extremely rare in the general population, but a geographic cluster of people allergic to meat has been observed in Sydney, Australia.[51] There appears to be a possible association between localised reaction to tick bite and the development of meat allergy."

May explain a few things?

To get a lamb of cow to market size takes longer requires more acreage and time .
Chickens however are bred and on the market in a few weeks, they are table ready before your tomatoes plant even has it crop of tomatoes.

They are fed all sorts of concoctions to increase weight gain.

I have been so used to eating chickens from the supermarket that when I get a farm killed one and eat that it seems to taste bland. Maybe the productions chickens are feed flavour enhancers also??

I know when I get a Christmas Turkey and I read the ingredients on the label, there is a list of additives.

One thing though, you don't want to come up trumps when the chicken sexer blows your back check feathers apart and finds out your a rooster and not a hen. It's straight to the gulag and extermination camp.
At least the hens have a longer life if only a few weeks
