Girlgun that is not what my health teacher said. Do you have a masters?

Your health teacher is wrong. Even if you are severely constipated, food is going to leave your body within a few days. If it didn't, you'd be going to the emergency room, believe me.

I cannot understand why I still have to defend this obvious point.

Yeah, Norma J must not shit haha...or maybe he eats steak like a snake would and doesn't chew. Snakes prefer live food though, of course.

And, absolutely girlgun, red meat (generally lower quality)and other fatty foods in excess (& most Americans do eat them to excess unfortunately) aren't good for the heart. Neither is smoking, and I've got one lit, as usual, right now. But, yeah, some nice sliced roast beef from the deli section is lean and light compared with eating a hamburger or steak.

meat doesn't stay in you for 14 days. FACT. it's just a fucking fact.

yes. correct. thank you.

that 14 day thing just got me up in arms. it takes some fucking gall to say shit like that with a straight face. unfuckingbelievable.

Actually I do believe someone said something along the lines of:

Onani Nic:Also it's debatable whether eating red meat is good for you or not, while a friend was at the doctors she was told that red meat is terrible for your digestive system. Something about it rotting inside as it cant be digested properly (I might be off the mark on this one).

Which was followed with:

Anngela: I've heard the same thing about meat not being good for your digestive system.

Then you claimed all to be false and your conclusion was that you eat mustard with your meals hahaha. You didn't prove anything yet you claimed it to be nonsense. So where is your facts?

Then find the recipes, print them out, cook them up, make them and stop complaining. Every thread turns into shit, it's expected. It's also expected, and just as cliched, when someone complains about that.

Synth just saw to that.

To me, it seems the most healthy diet would be one prescribed by a dietician with a specialty in macrobiotics. And what they would probably say is to eat very little, and (believe it or not) drink very little (just about always only water). When you do eat, have a fine-tuned balance of fruits and vegetables with grains and raw grains. The macrobiotic diet would probably allow some fresh fish or seafood a couple of times a week and only very rarely allow red meat, pork, poultry, cheese, snacks, desserts, and so on.

Yet you ask me for facts. Where's your facts? You eat meat, that's the only fact you have. You do something therefore you think it's right. There's numerous articles about this, I posted one as did Anngela. You couldn't even comprise an article. You just had Atari. Which clearly degrades any argument you may have.

This has not been about to whether the eating of meat is right or wrong, this has been about whether meat is easily digestable. Which it is not.

[floatingslowly]

so, what yr trying to say is, deep inside the colon, there exist specialized MEAT HOOKS that selectively pull aside the meat and keep it from pooing out with the rest of the junk??

I'm so testing out that theory by dying my next burger blue.

here you go, Norma J.

A google search for "red meat digestion time."

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...digestion+time

http://www.google.com/search?q=red+meat+digestion+time&hl=en&start=10&sa =N

Oh, I think this one is probably the best source I see:
http://drbass.com/sequential.html


DIGESTION TIME OF VARIOUS FOODS
(approx. time spent in stomach before emptying). ........
Water when stomach is empty, leaves immediately and goes into intestines,
Juices Fruit vegetables, vegetable broth - 15 to 20 minutes.
Semi-liquid (blended salad, vegetables or fruits) - 20 to 30 min. Fruits
Watermelon - 20 min.digestion time.
Other melons - Canteloupe, Cranshaw, Honeydew etc. - 30 min.
Oranges, grapefruit, grapes - 30 min.
Apples, pears, peaches, cherries etc. - digest in 40 min.
Vegetables
Raw tossed salad vegetables - tomato, lettuces, cucumber, celery, red or green pepper, other succulent vegetables - 30 to 40 min. digestion. -
Steamed or cooked vegetables
Leafy vegetables - escarole, spinach, kale, collards etc. - 40 min. - Zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, string beans, yellow squash, corn on cob - all 45 min. digestion time
Root vegetables - carrots, beets, parsnips, turnips etc. - 50 min.
Semi-Concentrated Carbohydrates - Starches
Jerusalem artichokes & leafy, acorn & butternut squashes, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, yam, chestnuts - all 60 min. digestion.
Concentrated Carbohydrates - Grains
Brown rice, millet, buckwheat, cornmeal, oats (first 3 vegetables best) - 90 min.
Legumes & Beans - (Concentrated Carbohydrate & Protein)
Lentils, limas, chick peas, peas, pigeon peas, kidney beans, etc. - 90 min. digestion time
soy beans -120 min. digestion time
Seeds & Nuts
Seeds - Sunflower, pumpkin, pepita, sesame - Digestive time approx. 2 hours.
Nuts - Almonds, filberts, peanuts (raw), cashews, brazil, walnuts, pecans etc. - 2 1/2 to 3 hours to digest.
Dairy
Skim milk, cottage or low fat pot cheese or ricotta - approx. 90 min. digestion time
whole milk cottage cheese - 120 min. digestion
whole milk hard cheese - 4 to 5 hours digestion time
Animal proteins
Egg yolk - 30 min. digestion time
Whole egg - 45 min.
Fish - cod, scrod, flounder, sole seafood - 30 min. digestion time
Fish - salmon, salmon trout, herring, (more fatty fish) - 45 min. to 60 digestion time
Chicken - 1½ to 2 hours digestion time (without skin)
Turkey - 2 to 2 ¼ hours digestion time (without skin)
Beef, lamb - 3 to 4 hours digestion time
Pork - 4½ to 5 hours digestion time

(Editor's notes
Note1: raw animal proteins have much faster digestion times than the above times for cooked/heated animal proteins.
Note2: The digestion times given are under an ideal situation of eating only one food, chewing well, and having efficient digestion, as is the case e.g. after a fast. They are digestion times for optimally healthy persons, with good eating habits. The digestion times are to a large part derived from Dr. Gian-Cursio's and Dr. Bass' practices.
Digestion times are much longer on a conventional diet, and for persons with non-optimized digestive systems, or persons lacking in energy, and for meals with many ingredients put together haphazardly = not in the optimum sequential order.)

he didn't say it was easily digestible. he just said it wasn't hanging around inside for 2 weeks!

So you edited your post. Ok. Are you not interested in the recipes anymore? Prefer to argue with me now?

[m1rr0r dash]

i typed this up fo !@#$%! as part of a discussion of whether cilantro sucks or not... and whether you can make pasta sauce without garlic... so ignore that stuff and spice it how you like...

portabella walnut marinara suace:

i usually started with olive oil in a frying pan (enough to partially cover the crushed walnuts, definitely more than just to 'saute' them). gently heat the crushed walnuts on very low heat. the idea was not so much to give them a 'roasted' flavor as to release the walnut oils into the sauce. 'brown' was a poor choice of words as they should not actually change color. or at least i never tried it that way. a few times i substitued pine nuts for walnuts (same kind of slightly bitter nutty flavor) but it wasn't nearly as good.

next i usually added just a splash of vegetable oil to thin the oil a little, heat it to medium and saute the portabellas. when i had the time and wanted it to turn out perfect i would do the mushrooms in a separate pan with butter. either way, do it gently as your trying to get them to release their juices and not 'fry' them. stop before they're fully cooked as they will simmer in the sauce a little later.

at this point dump in the strained tomatos, wine and 2-3 bay leaves. sounds heavy handed, but it's crucial when you have no garlic. likewise with the wine... i usually went heavy handed, which required more simmering down, hence the note about the mushrooms. salt and pepper (freshly ground only) to taste. if you're feeling adventurous, a dash of red pepper flakes. simmer.

thicken with tomato paste. at this point in most of my other pasta sauces i would add some more olive oil for flavor and consistency, but since we started with more than we needed it's not necessary here.

add the herbs. obviously fresh basil and oregano. most people would go with italian parsley, i just happen to like cilantro. at any rate, no curly pasley - it's too bitter. simmer the flavors in just a little, check your salt and pepper, serve over fresh fettucine with some grated parmesan.
