Is eating raw meat bad for you?
it depends on the meat and the person. Clean (no bacterial contamination) raw meat is difficult to digest and will slow your bacteria. E-coli or salmonella can be found in certain types of meat and those can make a healthy person very sick or can be fatal in those with less-than-ideal health. I will occasionally have carpaccio at a nice restaurant, but would not prepare it myself. Sushi is the same. Never eat raw chicken or pork, though, unless you have just killed the animal.
Should i try to eat less meat? 1-3 times a week?
The average American eats way too much meat. The human body is set up to consume small quantities of meat, but nothing close to the amounts most people eat today. Consider- 200 years ago, there was no refrigeration, therefore, meat was hard to keep. Also, they raised animals in humane ways, therefore didn't have millions upon millions of them to keep eating. They had to be careful how many the killed, especially with ones that produced renewable foods like dairy or eggs. People didn't slaughter an animal a day to eat, they subsisted mainly on produce and grains, and perhaps had meat once or twice a week (which I would imagine was mostly wild game they had hunted, not farm animals they has slaughtered). For thousands of years, humans evolved with a primarily vegetarian diet, supplemented with meat, rather than a primarily carnivorous diet supplemented with vegetables like we have switched to in the past 100 years. If meat is making you sick, your body is telling you something. You should definitely cut back, it's much healthier to have just a little meat in your diet, rather than have it be a staple. You can also cut out certain meats, and continue eating others, if your finding one variety is making you ill. My mom quit eating red meats and pork 23 years ago (when she got pregnant with me), but has continued eating fish and poultry a few meals a week. She has suffered no negative effects by not eating heavy meats. I myself have been a vegetarian (I do eat eggs and dairy) for 12 years, and I too am perfectly healthy (but you said you didn't want to go veggie). Your body knows what is right and wrong for it, and you should listen to what it has to say. If that means cutting meat to a few portions a week, so be it. It's not like it's going to hurt anything, so long as you maintain a generally healthy diet otherwise.
Is eating meat every day bad?
A2AThe answer depends on the perspective you asked your question from ,Religious/spiritually or Health -wise?Health WiseThe basic mantra for a Healthy life is anything is good if its not taken in Excess. You can eat meat everyday provided you also take nutrition from vegetarian food and also have fruits.If you eat meat only, your nutrition intake would be limited to only what is provided by meat and those components would be in excess. To somewhat balance it You would need to eat different type of meats and not just Chicken. You'll need to add fish,lamb etc To the type of meats you eat.Also, Bear in mind if you want to remain fit , try having Lean meat or keep the intake limited as meat has fat which can cause obesity in long term and red meat increases your cholestrol.To combat the obesity , you can grill your meat and not use enough oil. Meats are an excellent source of protein , which build muscle ,so have it after a workout to give fuel to your muscles , it will also make you feel full and give enough time for your muscles to recover for the workout next day.Religious/Spiritual PerspectiveTo each his own , edit your question and mention which faith do you follow and perhaps people who have the knowledge of your faith can help you in this regard

How is eating out often bad?
Its good for the economy and social life to eat out. Generally, every country where eating out has been facilitated by the government tax wise and were the city scene is supported by a large Horeca trade there also have been arguments made that every middle class family should have the money to go out 3 times a week. Eating out is not often linked to fast food, you don't go out specifically for a Burger King or McD unless you return from a party or a binge at 1 am in the morning. However, it comes down to the choice of the restaurant, but surprisingly not the kind of money you want to spend. You can eat very well for 15 USD and very bad for 50 - 100 USD and vice versa. General storage, refrigeration, hygiene and turnover of the food can often be an issue. As a customer, we don't always see what goes on in the back of the kitchen since every half spoiled food can be reused and seasoned to be sold off instead of being thrown away. The line on what is good and bad can sometimes be very thin. Also, be aware of meals in a restaurant that are served within 10 minutes. Sometimes if you are lucky its fresh, but it could just as well have been prefabricated, frozen and reheated. These would be some of the issues that can cause trouble sometimes to your health and older people (who can be more sensitive) or people who are simply not used to it can experience everything from indigestion to diarrhea. So in that sense, if you are not careful it can be bad for you."Eating out"meals at lunch are often more closer to normal home cooking and have a higher turnover with fresh food. Food does not have the time to go bad, since the restaurant wants to sell off everything before they prepare for evening service.As previous writers have indicated, the cost can generally be higher but its always a question of alternative cost and hence how you value your time.
Is consuming meat 5 times a week harmful?
Let’s ignore VooDoo modern medical advice based on illogic (ingested egg cholesterol becomes human cholesterol) that we have been brainwashed with. Let’s keep in mind that medical research tells us that human bodies need only Essential Amino Acids and Essential Fatty Acids to survive. Take note that scientific research have proved that there are NO essential carbohydrates (sugars, pastas, breads, rice, and grains) and none needed for the human body to properly survive and fully function.Now consider the historical and observed real life evidence that the Northern American continent indigenous peoples (Eskimos, Yupiks, and Inuits) have lived and thrived for centuries on meat and fat (fish and blubber).You can arrive at your own conclusions if consuming meat 4 times a week is harmful. Instead, consider that the huge infusion of carbs, sugars, and pre-packaged foods into our diets since the 1950s have also seen massive increases of diseases that previously were rare.
Why should we all avoid eating red meat?
Short answer: You shouldn’t.Better answer: You shouldn’t avoid eating red meat, but you should limit yourself to a couple servings a week. The major reason for this is all the processing and the large amount of fat in red meats.The danger isn’t inherent in the proteins contained in the meat (which is the core question a lot of people have), but the danger is in the fat content and extra stuff you get from the cow’s diet, processing, etc.To be realistic, you will remain reasonably healthy whether or not you limit yourself to 2 servings a week or if you eat 7 servings a week (diet is a balancing act). The real thing to look at is your diet as a whole rather than just one part of it.Take eskimos in Alaska for example: numerous studies have found that despite their nearly 100% meat-diet, they have almost no cases of cardiovascular disease! By contrast, the typical American diet contains around 25% from all animal products, and our leading killer is CVD.I’m not saying switch to an all-meat diet. Just make sure you eat a variety of things and try to follow the Dietary Guidelines (or if you’re ambitious try this one).To piggy-back off Saddha: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” - Hippocrates (really smart guy who was a doctor way back when).Be wary of articles online claiming something is always good or always bad for you.
I heard that if you eat something seven times, you will like it?
As someone who was raised as a Seventh Day Adventist, I can assure you, I often ate meat. Most SDAs don't, and its for no specific reason other than health. Adventist's believe that they have been given the mission of spreading God's word about Healthy Living (and most of it is actually accurate). While most choose not to eat meat for health reasons, its not a requirement. They do NOT however eat pork, shrimp or anything considered "unkosher", because they are generally considered to be extensively unhealthy *but this was before healthier methods of food curation were developed* My father is an Adventist pastor, and we have all grown up eating meats.
Is it okay to just eat meat once a week?
I always think it's weird when ppl ask if they should eat meat on a vegetarian forum. Surely, people on here will say no? Are you asking it on here because you want people to talk you out of it? There aren't any nutrients that you can't get from a plant-based diet. Nothing at all. And definitely not protein - every fruit and vegetable, in fact everything you eat, has some protein in it. So you don't need to eat meat at all. If you don't care for it then I don't know why you want to eat it.
Is eating fried chicken at KFC say one a week bad for you?
I love friend chicken and have the better option of Popeyes Chicken which actually has some flavor compared to KFC and I limit it to about once ever 6 weeks. Eating any kind of fried food once a week isn't going to kill you. But if you get frenc fries one day, fried fish another, fried chicken another and fried egg rolls, and then eat potato chips or cheetos, etc each and every day of week it isn't good for you. Fried food of any kind should be limited.
