Will you give up red meat?

If a pastor/church leader asks all his constituents to give up red meat because he is convinced it's unhealthy what would you do?

I did it for one year when I lost a bunch of weight.

I ate chicken, tuna and a bunch of Salmon.

I started to crave peanut butter.

That was for the protein loss from what someone told me...

I may start doing it again...

I wouldn't run around on every forum & internet board denouncing that teaching (not saying you are, but a large percentage of people do) & a lot of the more controversial stuff, not cutting hair, makeup, & wearing dresses have some justification in scripture.

Wink Re: Will you give up red meat?

Not give up, but maybe eat less; at least strive for lean cuts.

I certainly agree that we should eat chicken and more fish....but no red meat?

I put this in the catagory....everything in moderation!

Reminds of a line from My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

The aunt is meeting the groom to be and invites her niece and fiance over for a meal but is told he doesn't eat meat.. She's horrified................ and then says, oh, that's ok, I'll fix lamb. lol

Re: Will you give up red meat?

Whoa! Folks, before we get too hot and heavy here let me be clear... I have no such situation - and this thread, while demonstrative, is mostly Tongue in cheek!


I personally would make mine a Ribeye - 22 oz cooked medium with a bit of char. Sauteed onion and mushroom on the side please.

Re: Will you give up red meat?

I haven't tested it, but my reading has indicated that arthritis problems are relieved if you eliminate red meat.


What! No steak???
