Maybe because studies in the past two years suggest that red meat is actually quite dangerous with frequent consumption.

Maybe because studies in the past two years suggest that red meat is actually quite dangerous with frequent consumption.
- bambax 10y agoBrown meat refers to poultry's legs, it's different from red meat (beef). I'm not aware of any study that shows brown meat to be more dangerous than chicken breasts?
- dom0 10y agoHumans and many other animals have been eating meat for billions of man-years (this is a software site after all), I kinda doubt "actually quite dangerous" is a fitting description. Bungee-jumping without a rope is "actually quite dangerous", for example.
- milesrout 10y agoNo they haven't. Red meat is not dangerous. Cooking red meat the way Americans tend to (disgustingly fried everything) is, but disgustingly frying anything is bad for you.
- nsebban 10y agoPeople fry red meat ?! I have spent much time in the US, but I think I have never seen that...in restaurants at least. And I'm kinda glad I didn't.
- rangibaby 10y agoI've lived in Japan for my entire adult life and we cook meats either in a frypan or a wok. Do you roast it in the oven or something?
- bpicolo 10y agoThey're referring to deep frying, rather than pan frying.
- makerofthings 10y agoSlightly OT, but Is this a language thing? In the UK frying in this context means in a flat frying pan with a very small coating of oil. This is perfectly normal for a steak. Deep fat frying, where the meat would be submerged in hot oil would be out of the ordinary.
- milesrout 10y agoHave you ever had a hamburger...?
- soundwave106 10y agoIt's not as common, but yes. One example found in Southern cuisine / Texas / etc. is called either chicken fried steak or country fried steak. Although often pan fried, some restaurants deep fry them.
- mcguire 10y agoWith mashed potatoes and white gravy[1], it's delicious, too. [1] People who put brown gravy on chicken fried steak are heretics who should be deep fried themselves.
- adventured 10y agoFried is not the primary manner in which Americans consume red meat, I like how you got the anti-American attack in there though.
- DanBC 10y agoRed meat is, according to WHO, a probable carcinogen, although the increased risk is quite small.
- milesrout 10y agoLiterally everything is a fucking carcinogen.
- DanBC 10y ago> Literally everything is a fucking carcinogen > > Red meat is not dangerous. Pick one.
- Dylan16807 10y agoAre you trying to imply you were using the meaningless definition of 'dangerous', and not the "notable risk" definition? Because "might be a carcinogen along with basically every substance" only proves the former.
- DanBC 10y agoThe WHO said that red meat is probably a carcinogen, and that processed red meat is definitely a carcinogen. But the amount of cancer they cause is quite small. http://www.nhs.uk/news/2015/10October/Pages/Processed-meat-causes-cancer-warns-official-report.aspx http://www.nhs.uk/news/2015/10October/Pages/Processed-meat-c... > A key statistic provided by the infographic is that if everyone stopped smoking, there would be 64,500 fewer cases of cancer a year in the UK, compared with 8,800 fewer cases if everyone stopped eating processed or red meat. This is for a country with a population of 60m to 70m people.
