Ärende: meat eatin' 356
=======================
 ML> It really isn't important to eat that much animal protein.
 RH> No, look at all the people who live either totally without it or on a
 RH> minimal amount.

That's all right for the rest of the world. I could get
100% of my nutrition from animal protein and be just as
happy as a clam.

 ML> As I understand it, the dietitians (dieticians) suggest that
 ML> one eat a few ounces a day to sort of jump-start you, and
 ML> make up the rest with grain-legume proteins.
 RH> First time I've heard a theory like that. Maybe the meat mafia is in
 RH> cahoots with them.

I looked at it the other way! I thought it was the soybean and
wheat cartel. I can hardly get by these days with a few ounces.

 ML> and not feel particularly full afterwards. If I can have my
 ML> fill of rice and vegetables, 3 oz. of meat is plenty."
 RH> That's more like the way I eat most of the time.

That was a decade or more ago for me.

 ML> Now, the dox have suggested that I go on a diet of exclusively
 ML> lean meat and leafy greens, as I've apparently outgrown the
 ML> grain-legume protein stage and am entering the Dirty Dave
 ML> extra-sweet stage.
 RH> No fun. I should watch out as both my mom and Steve's mom are now that
 RH> way. It would be hard to give up my chocolate tho.

Lucky for me I like Noir Infini 99% cacao! but sadly that
contains too many stimulants.

 RH> I've never cooked any lettuce (directly) but done the wilted lettuce
 RH> with hot bacon dressing thing a number of times.  I usually serve it
 RH> on a bed of mashed potatoes.

That's pretty good, if you use a lot of bacon fat. Of course
I'd eat shredded cardboard if it had soaked up a lot of bacon fat.
