World Health Org. Adviser: Eat Meat Only Once Per Week to Fight Obesity, Global Warming

U.K. Food Policy Adviser Suggests Eating Meat Once Per Week

(Photo: Flickr/inju)

If Tim Lang, a professor of food policy at City University in London and adviser to the World Health Organization, had his way, we would only eat meat once a week. Eating meat only on special occasions, like feast days, he suggests could help reduce obesity and curb global warming.

The Telegraph reports Lang as advocating that people adopt meat-eating practices like those in medieval times:

“Let’s go back to where culture has been for thousands of years, which is meat is an exception,” Prof Lang said. “If you were growing meat yourself, it is an incredibly slow process and killing and eating an animal is a special day.

“At Christmas if we were well off we had beef. It was a big deal. We killed an animal as an exception, for a feast.”

[...]

Sir Paul McCartney has advocated Meat-Free Mondays but Prof Lang said: “I am saying instead of having one day where you do not eat meat, eat meat once a week and have really good, grass-fed meat.”

On the other end of the spectrum, the Daily Mail reports that a recent study of one area in the United Kingdom has found eating disorders in children as young as three.

In a report published by the East Lancashire Child and Adolescent Service (ELCAS), researchers found that in the East Lancashire area alone more than 125 children under 18 had received some sort of treatment for eating disorders since 2007. According to the Daily Mail, 109 of these cases were children between the ages of 12 and 16 but two 6-year-olds, four 7-year-olds and one 3-year-old were observed with eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia.

    Stanley Owsley the famous LSD chemist of the 60s believed that the natural human diet is a totally carnivorous one, thus making it a no-carbohydrate diet, and that all vegetables are toxic. He claimed to have eaten almost nothing but meat, eggs, butter and cheese since 1959. Who you going to believe some FDA idiot or the great LSD manufacturer.

    High carbohydrate diets are contributing to the epidemic of diabetes.

      IMHBLO, these people don’t s_it about apple butter.

      This “IS” a money driven BS story that has roots in one world governance. Apparently, no one knows whats the “best” diet for ‘man.’

      It‘s a scientific fact that different cultures around the world can’t eat certain things other cultures eat or drink without any issues. Case in point: Native Americans. They have a great deal of difficulty metabolizing alcohol and many of the process foods of western Europeans, as one example.

      Again, IMHBLO, much of our health problems may be traced to the vast array of chemicals added to our foods. If we only had “FOOD” in our food our bodies would metabolize our diet better and not store or chemically alter these substances that may cause an interaction with enzyme or hormone production. There by affecting other aspects of human health.

      I‘ve ’read‘ about GM foods from ’scientists’ and Doctors (I’m not sure you trust them either) and it’s pretty scary stuff. In any event I‘d blame the crap that isn’t food that “IS” in our food before I‘d blame the ’food’ itself.

      But, big chemical is “BIG” money and we all know, once the food leaves the farm, that‘s where ’real’ “agriculture” becomes BIG business. And money, moves the world.

      That’s it, I’m convinced! It’s ham, sausage, bacon, steak, eggs, toast and coffee for breakfast. For lunch it’ll be any ham, sausage, bacon and steak left over from breakfast, with yummy cheese and butter on hydrogenated bread with ham gravy poured over it with LOTS of salt to season it even more! In the evening it will be bambi paddies that have been mixed with Elsa the cow burgers, with deep fried (in fat of course) french fries of hash browns, chased by a huge homemade milkshake and couple hunks of cherry cheese cake!

      Any snacks will be beef jerkey.

      Already started a 10 gallon spaghetti sauce with 7 pounds of ground chuck, 5 pounds of ground pork sausage and more fixins’, which will include real butter home-made bread loaves, and a gallon of home-made wine.

      Can’t wait to have the whole family over and slaughter a cow to go along with about 30 pounds of skilled fried chicken. We love us some fatback too.

      Dating back to as far as we can get our family tree in America (early 1600′s), we eat what this society considers unhealthy, but our average family member lifespan is 82 years. Got 2 relatives over 100 years old, so I think their whole “eat healthy” crap is exactly that.

      I’ve had exactly 2 trips to the hospital since the day I was born. Once was a turned ankle on the basketball court, and stitched over my right eye from an elbow. Yep also from the basketball court. I’ll put my stamina, and health up against the screwballs of the WHO, ANYDAY!

Why don’t you take a field trip out to some farms. Ranches too. I think you’ll find that the large number of acres they use in order to grow the food you eat and mentioned in your post above, are that many acres that are not being used to build housing developments. Acres that deer and other wild creatures roam around on them too. You people are truly insane. You protest against the very things that sustain you. All because some uber Liberal Professor said so. So let me ask you this… When was the last time you farted out methane gas? What are you going to do about it? Aren’t you destroying the planet? What about the car you drive? The house you live in? The city you live in? Everything you see is a source of destruction of the planet. To what end do you people want to save the planet? To the extent that you kill off every living creature?

A methane cloud is flamable, right??????? Where is it coming from???? How is it getting to the Amazon forest in order to destroy it????? Use that head of yours for some good and think before pressing the keys.

      Onward to the mass animal farms, of course it is slightly damaging, but, remove the animals and it all grows back greener than it ever was in the past. Ever seen a pature (sure you have, you are a farmer enlightened person), so you know that is how to enrich the soil, and then there is the rotating crops. Sure you heard of that, along with tilling into the soil the husks, vines, and leaves of the old crop, then throwing manure from those groups of animals standing around enmass to richen the soil and grow worms, then more and better food in the spring, summer, and fall seasons.

      Your statement confuses me. It lead me to believe you were against their existence, along with your statements regarding the eating of meat. Sorry if I misunderstood your meaning…

      Conventional food producers are keeping the masses fed. That is why they exist. The market wants what they produce.

      I‘m sure you’re a nice person and I have nothing against people who chose to be Vegans. I just fundamentally disagree with anyone who believes raising farm animals and growing food on farms is somehow damaging to the planet. It’s not. Neither is drilling for oil, driving cars or anything else. The planet does not exist because of mankind. It exists in spite of us. In other words, it can absorb our methane, etc. Even the BP oil spill was absorbed in a matter of days. We should be humbled by the power of the universe. Not arrogant enough to believe WE have dominion over it.

      Christos: I have lived on a cattle ranch most of my life and can say that the methane produced by cows, horses or what have you are minimal in almost all farms, ranches. However, I can say that in the larger Agribusiness farms that there can be an issue that arises with methane production, but they still have a minimal if 0 impact on the environment.

      As far as “confinement” raised animals these again fall under the agribusiness banner and mainly contain the chicken farms, pig farms and occasionally dairy farms. The reason for this has to do with ease of production, think of it as an assembly line for eggs, veal, milk, chicken, pork and what have you. Although it may sound barbaric and yes, some of the methods are you must realize we are the ultimate predator. Therefore, we are the top of the food chain. The products are healthy. Yes they can contain illnesses, but these are usually transmitted during processing. The same can happen to “organic” labeled food.

      A world without sustainable farming would be a world in which almost the entire population could be a billion probably less, there would be no services, probably no established cities, malnutrition, death, disease, nonviable pregnancies and I could go on but the point is that we would cease to live as we do now.

      I have taken dried corn (2 ears), husked, cracked, & cooked it into 8 meals. It expands amazingly. Now the nutrition content per serving is a less than the 1/4 ear of corn from whence it came, but it is filling. WHO is attempting a virtually impossible task of feeding most of a continent on leftovers. The bio-engineered wheat seems even worse. Those distended bellies signify malnutrition. The hollow eyes signify starvation. We see the former in otherwise healthy American children due to our junk-riven diets. Meat does not make one fat. Over-eating food, plus the combination of man-made chemicals make Americans fat. We have both the land and the resources to produce meat. Because of war & politics, other countries & continents are not capable of doing this. But if Americans can be convinced, then the excess grains not needed for cattle could go to 3rd world nations. Ingenious plan.

    All fresh, well prepared food is delicious, and when I visited India, I was vegetarian for 3 weeks without even trying.

    But meat protein is best for a human being’s health, there is no doubt about that.

    Plus, even if people tend to eat less meat as they get older, children and teenagers need good quality meat every day for optimal developement.

      yes the “who” forgot to take into account that our blood needs iron and the main source of our iron comes from red meat. they also forgot the part about animal fertilizer growing veggies and grain. I tell you these “smart” people are stupider than anyone I know. We don’t raise livestock we have no fertilizer. it is flippin ridiculous. I dont eat red meat I get anemic, basic facts of life.

    Obesity is not caused by meat, it is caused by fruit, sugar and all carbs like refined flour. You notice poor people can’t afford meat and can only buy the cheap filling things that just happen to be carbs and that is why they are the fat people.

      Thank you. Excess carbs are stored in the body as fat. That fat does not go away unless carb intake is reduced and the body needs to convert the fat to energy. Protien, aka meat, does not cause the body to store fat — even fatty meat, or fats of any kind. Fat in the diet does not translate into fat on the body. Too much bread, pasta, potato, rice, etc — is what cause fat on the body.

    The Telegraph reports Lang as advocating that people adopt meat-eating practices like those in medieval times? Really, so we serfs arent allowed to eat meat.. F’OFF Lang!

    No, it’s quite the opposite. My diet has been chicken, lean beef & fish along with whole wheat pasta, & bread. Brown rice, Oatmeal and 1 serving of fruit a day ( banana or 3 -5 strawberries). There are no sauces, dairy or sugar. I use stevia to sweeten I also drink 1-2 gallons of water a day and weight train 5 days and cardio all 7 days. I’ve lost 30 lbs in 30 days. Eating this type of diet requires extra digestive enzymes to increase protein absorption. I haven’t felt better in years. Complex carbs provide long lasting energy instead of the sugar rush and crash.. Besides sugar makes you fat.

    Meat is one of the most nutrient dense sources of vitamins and minerals. Not eating meat requires a higher food volume.

    Why do the Progressive dopes continue to push the Global Warming BS,
    even after it has been revealed as just that, BS?

    I don’t care what the dopes think, I will continue to feast on meat 7 days a week
    for as long as I live. There is a lot of venison up here where I live!

      Methane is the worst gas for greenhouse effect, farts are methane, can you imagine the methane a cow puts out. We should eat more cows to cut down on the methane.

    Where is this guy from Africa? Cause only in Africa where the natives never evolved beyond hunter gathers, never learned to preserve meat, never learned how tan hides, did “humans” eat meat only once a week.
