Eating Meat

Meat. Should you eat it or not? What about red meat--is it any worse for you than white meat? Let's look at the issues in an intellectually honest way.
  • Meat is high in saturated fat--but it's also high in protein, as well as a host of micronutrients (such as creatine) that are very hard to obtain on a vegetarian diet.
  • Meat is low in fiber, but so is water!
  • Meat is a completed protein (contains all the essential proteins your body cannot manufacture), while getting a completed protein on a vegetarian diet means eating many of the same things (such as beans and rice) over and over.
  • Your digestive tract is too long for a diet high in meat, but your teeth are those of an omnivore--not the flat teeth of a vegetarian creature.
  • On the one hand, meat is wasteful. It takes a great deal of grain and water to produce an animal for consumption. On the other hand, meat is efficient. Meat is a dense source of many hard-to-get nutrients.

 

Looking at these facts, is meat good or bad for you to eat? The answer is yes to both. Humans do best with some meat in their diets. How much is too much? That depends on many individual factors. A rule of thumb is the amount of meat you eat at any meal should be no larger than the palm of your hand (assuming a half-inch thickness). If your stool smells especially bad, that's a hint you may have too much meat in your diet (it could be a hint of something else, so see if cutting back on meat improves the odor within a week or so). In any case, the traditional 12-oz steak is far too large.

Think back to the earliest days of humans. When a hunter caught a rabbit or other small animal, how much meat was there, really? By the time everyone got their share of the meat, there wasn't a whole lot left. As humans got better at making tools and weapons, they began eating more meat. But, the human body has not kept pace with technology (which is one reason computer-generated IRS notices cause so many heart attacks!).

Eat meat as a side dish, not the main dish, and you will be fine. Eat mostly vegetables--don't eat highly-processed grains (this includes most flour products) at all. When you do eat meat, trim the fat from it. Never eat anything that is deep-fried, breaded and fried, or cooked in hydrogenated oil (because these fats all go straight to your artery walls, and the breading makes your insulin level skyrocket, which makes your body store fat).

The best time to eat meat? Breakfast or lunch, but not supper. You want to get your protien early in the day, and meat is an excellent source of protein. You also want to give your body time to work on that saturated fat before you sleep--while you are awake, conditions are better for burning it off.

A final note on meat. The typical American man has, at the age of 53, six pounds of undigested red meat in his lower bowel. This is gross. The jokes about men and their farting are related to this fact, because that meat is fermenting. In fact, it's loaded with gas-producing bacteria. It forms a thick black tarry substance that many experts believe is a major factor in many illnesses, including bowel and prostate cancers. They believe this because they can look at who has cancer in the tarry group and who has cancer in the group with clean bowels, and they can see a lot more men with tarry bowels have cancer. Eating meat does not make for tarry bowels--eating too much meat or not enough fiber for the amount of meat you do eat causes tarry bowels.

Eat your meat, but skip the pudding. Have an apple, instead.

Why Buy

Why should you buy posters or prints?

Take a look at our selection. Some of these inspire and energize you, some provide information in a visually attractive way, some are calming, and others are simply beautiful.

Then, of course, there are some radical posters for those of you who like to spice things up. Whatever your taste is, you can express it with the right posters nicely framed and strategically placed. Why not have a different theme for each room in your house?

For very little money, you can personalize your home or office in a meaningful way. These also make excellent gifts to friends, spouses, customers, new customers, prospective customers, loyal customers, children, and institutions.

Why not buy a poster, and then donate it to your local library, hospital, retirement home, hospice, or other place where such beauty can make a difference? In many cases, you can even take a tax deduction for your gift.

OK, that's why you should buy posters. But, why should you buy posters or anything else from us? We have been in business since 1997, for one thing. We're not a fly by night outfit. Here are a couple of pages you can view to put your mind at ease:

And remember, it's not really "about us." Our business is about you. The customer. Without you, we wouldn't be here. And we take that to heart.

Poster Suggestions

 instead of buying your customers (or friends) health-diminishing junk food gifts or something they'll just toss in a closet, give them some great art they can put on their wall. But know what it is they really like. Sending what you like might not go over so well.

To know what the intended gift recipient likes, just casually touch on things in conversation. For example, you can ask this person, "What's your favorite animal?" or maybe "Of all the animals on the planet, which one impresses you the most?" Maybe nothing will come of that. But if the person gushes about dogs, then you know a dog poster is a good idea. If that person raves about border collies, then you have the exact poster subject you need to send the perfect gift. Whales? No problem there either.

But maybe the person is a wine enthusiast and you're not. Rather than send a bottle of wine that will probably disappoint, you can send a wine poster that won't disappoint.

Maybe this person loves Led Zeppelin. Send a poster!

Posters can be wonderful gifts, or they can totally bomb. The secret to getting it right is to listen to the other person's comments about his or her interests.

About Us

Mindconnection sells posters via affiliate links. So, we don't actually handle the posters. We've been in business since 1997, and have tried several poster and art programs. We've been extremely satisfied with the selection and customer service provided by All Posters, which is now part of Art.com.

Mindconnection employees have bought these posters personally, and our company has bought them for various clients because they just make quite excellent gifts. One poster in particular was an astoundingly beautiful photo reprint of an elephant. It looked striking in its frame.
