Beef is not antibiotic laden :rolleyes: Hyperbole much?

My bad HLJ. I should have said "they do not have any ailments due to lack of nutrition".

"perferctly healthy" was a stupid choice of words and I regret it.

The word antibiotics synonymous with beef is not much of a hyperbole.

I bet it doesn't even make the top ten of hyperbole's if even it is a hyperbole at all.

When I hyperbole I'll let YOU know.

The vegetarian Indian people I've also known didn't seem to be malnourished.
Although I think it is perfectly fine for meat to be affordable, Americans over-consume meat in major proportions that are not at all healthy for us.
Generally speaking, the only time a person will be allergic to meat (especially two different types of meat) would be environmental, rather than simply being allergic to meat of the animal... Poorly prepared, poorly sourced, or poorly reared animals.

(There are obviously SOME exceptions... there always are.)

Whereas plant matter can simply be indigestible, to many people.

I think your statement was reasonable; I just think the lack of good operational definitions of certain words leads to conflicting interpretations.

I can see you have not even read this thread.
It is better to be thought a fool then to write down your thoughts and remove all doubt :rolleyes:

To me beef is antibiotic laden.It sits in the fatty parts of the meat like hamburger and steaks. If it makes me a fool in your eyes, to think so, I don't care. I doubt it was a very far leap for someone with your unwarranted negativity.

Be an ass some more. Have fun.

If there weren't antibiotics in the beef, then THERE WOULD BE BIOTICS IN YOUR BEEF!

Do you want BIOTICS in your beef? I DON'T THINK SO!

(as that last line becomes my tweet for the day)

I'd KILL some biotics for a filet RFN! :yum:

(A friend of mine and I laugh because of another person we know who, when we were talking about how we love a good filet [and really, is there a BAD filet?] and she was all like "yeah, fish is OK I guess." Filet-o-fish, we thought? :lol: I mean, I know there is filetted (sp?) fish just as filleted beef, but I thought most people know what you mean when you mention "a filet."

Maybe you had to be there. ;)

Oh, and WTF...romper room let out early today?

No, Ecoli is a nasty Biotic-bug.

It is a conundrum but as a consumer I can choose not eat so much meat.

If Bionic Cow Santa approached me, as a child, I'd kick him in the balls, and run away, screaming "STRANGER DANGER!"
