A MEAT moussaka sounds nice, one or two of those will be on the menu in the coming few months. Heh—now I have my mincer I don’t even need mincemeat to make it!

You can make it very flavourful without meat George...try to be more healthy, meat is bad for you and causes colon cancers etc...because humans are not really meant to eat meat...I am not a vegetarian..I eat chicken and fish but pork or red meat I stay away from.

Humans are omniverous. Primitive man ate meat from time to time. More often, it ate him.

I think we're still adapted to our early hunter gatherer type existence, but nowadays some of us OD on meat. A hunter gatherer would have been quite often anemic due to blood loss from numerous injuries from hunting and inter-tribal war. It didn't do them much good though, because they had an average life expectancy of 35-40.

Nowadays, we don't have those problems, but we still eat a lot of iron rich meat.

Too much iron in the blood causes a build-up of free radicals, which can initiate cancer.

A survey of nonagenarians showed that an enormous proportion of them were slightly anemic. It seems to be one of the factors that helps humans to survive to that age.

As for myself, I eat vegetables, egg cheese and all seafood (but no meat), but I don't see the problem with (other people) eating meat in moderation.

Diet is a personal thing, and one diet doesn't fit all.

Nothing fancy from the "City National"branch this week as this vegetable doesn't require it.
Simply char grill lightly brushing with olive oil & season.

I eat it uncooked as well as long as its tender.

Only 2 or 3 a week?

Are you just talking about evening meals, or all meals?

Out of 21 meals a week, you have meat in 18 of them?

That is a lot of meat. Shocked

(PS: I'm pretty sure ham is 'major meat').

I was talking about dinner. Breakfast and lunch are usually meatless—toast with grilled cheese and marmalade (NOT on same piece toast

) or oatmeal in morning etc. Bit of ham, maybe salami on friday evening, quite a small amount compared to a steak, etc.

We use it like a fruit, but is it really a vegetable? Sort of like the reverse of the tomato which is really a fruit but generally used as a vegetable.....
