Am I allowed to say fish?
I love fish. If not, probably chicken as I don't generally indulge in red meat much - linked to macular degeneration, innit.

Alt: Yeah, I say that ALL THE TIME at home, no really, I do

No it's not.
High fat intake is. Meat type has nowt to do with it. And, to be fair, that's only a significant problem in the US, we don't have a high enough fat intake in general yet. yet, mind you.

Is that right?
Don't suppose you have any links for further reading on the subject? I take this whole macular degeneration thing rather seriously.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 22 Nov 2011, 15:43, Reply)

Nope, not really my area
but it's considered an issue in the US, but then in the average US diet 40% of the energy comes from fat. 40 fucking percent. If you're around 20% I think you're considered safe.

Like anything else, I suspect it's just a "be sensible about what you eat and how you live"

Although, if you have a family history of it, it's considered to be quite heavily genetic, so unlucky. Could be worse, you could be me, I've got a cast-iron family history of brain stem stroke by 60.

But why would you think meat colour has anything to do with it?
protein's protein. Carrots aren't more dangerous than cauliflour because they are orange, are they?

When people say "eat less red meat" they mean "less fat and saturated fat" unless they are talking about fucked-up guts; in which case it's the sinew that's the problem.

Carrots would be good for AMD
Well "good" is overstating the case a little, but you know what I mean...
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 22 Nov 2011, 15:52, Reply)

by "good"
you mean "a myth invented in the second world war to cover over the invention of radar", right?
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 22 Nov 2011, 15:54, Reply)

Even I'm familiar with that one
Isn't it true that carrots are only good for eyesight if you're trying to look for them because they're orange?
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 22 Nov 2011, 15:57, Reply)

No, I'm referring to the link between carotenoids such as Lutein and Zeaxanthin and reduced degeneration of the macular*


*May also contain elements of "myth"
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 22 Nov 2011, 15:59, Reply)

really? not aware of that, cool
Although I'd worry that it's results prompted by a subconscious idea that carrots should be good for the eyes, but sounds interesting..
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 22 Nov 2011, 16:00, Reply)

Very simple
Once I was diagnosed with early-onset macular degeneration I did a fuckload of research into it and came across an article declaring that there was a link between red meat consumption and a worsening of the condition. I am a massive wuss when it comes to my (already piss-poor) eyesight and was bricking it; possibly I took what may have been an under-researched article to heart. Not exactly a science whizz, here.

If you link me the article I'll have a look
but there's no difference in the "meat" between poultry or cow. it's protein. Colour is a function of ageing and blood content, usually.

Haven't got a link I'm afraid
Frankly I'm more than happy to take your word for it. You're usually right about stuff.

just lay off the fatty stuff
even if it is the tastiest...
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 22 Nov 2011, 15:58, Reply)

I actually have very little fatty meat in my diet
Thanks to the girlfriend, on the rare occasions when I do have meat I always get the good stuff
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 22 Nov 2011, 15:59, Reply)

I only eat meat when we eat out or on the rare occasion I get a take-away
Veggie only at home, which doesn't bother me.
