westpacific - >>Anyone eating beef is an absolute fool<< Ok. I'll join this brief mutation into the "cullinary collapse" thread for a second. But here I line up amongst the absolute fools, and proud of it. Beef, good beef, is a tremendous source of protein. It also tastes great. Americans are fat because their bodies generate and store cellulose. That stuff bloating their bodies is not stored beef tallow. It is human fat. Which is manufactured. Far more likely they are getting bloated up not because of the 1/4 pound of beef in that burger, but because of the starch in the bun and the super-size fries and the sugar in the free refil on the fizzy drink (and on the fries, and in the bun, and in that special sauce)... [EDIT: and the level of insulin in their bodies] Most fats consumed end up going straight on through, undigested. Anyone who disagrees might want to eat a half a cup of lard - which is pure rendered beef fat. Doubts (and possibly a fair portion of the subsequent meal) should be swiftly dispelled. Furthermore, those who are biased to the convenience of fast food are also likely to be biased to the convenience of elevators... we may be seeing cross-correlation rather than cause/effect. Maybe I'm a fool, but I'm a lean and skinny one who enjoys his meat. Instead, I exercise nominally, and minimize intake of simple sugars and simple starches. John
