Did anyone else watch Should I Eat Meat on SBS last night? What - TopicsExpress

Did anyone else watch Should I Eat Meat on SBS last night? What did you think? Are you more confused now? As much as these shows can be really great for giving us information so we can weight up the pros and cons, I think the biggest problem that comes with most of these shows is that they are trying to arrive at one recommendation for everyone and making one type of food good or bad - just look at the shows title.... to be fair he did mention a couple of times about whether eating that quantity of meat was right for HIM. To me, this show is evidence that it is just not possible to have one rule for everyone. Never in human history has everyone eaten the same diet and interestingly since we have been persuaded into doing so we have got unhealthier and fatter - of course there are other contributing factors too. A major reason humans exist today is by eating what was right for them according to their circumstances and what their environment provided. Today we are going against this and now have the first generation not out living their parents. Personally my views on eating meat havent changed. There were SO MANY variables not taken into consideration when they were deciding whether we should or shouldnt eat meat. I will be discussing this further during our seminar coming up on the 26th November Grains, Meat, Dairy, Sugar - Friends or Foe. The link with further information on the seminar will hopefully be posted by the end of the day.
