For the record, I wasn't entirely serious about the whole American culture = bacon thing.

I mean, you guys actually do have stuff to offer apart from unhealthy food. It's definitely a part, though.

I found out about that chicken swinging thing last month. I was a little bit horrified...

The guy who told me about it grew up uber Jewish. I was hanging out with him and his gf (one of my best friends) when we saw a picture of the chicken swinging thing on facebook.

We were a little bit horrified. He was kinda quiet for a little while, and then was like "You know, growing up with it I often forget just how crazy some of these traditions are."

I try to be culturally sensitive, but pulling the head off of a chicken so that you can feel good about yourself after dumping all your sins into it is just, like, WOW.

Halal slaughter rules are a lot more relaxed on the actual method than kosher ones (they pray more instead) and honestly, the only other places I can get meat that doesn't smell weird are the ones where you end up paying 3 times as much as in normal shops. I don't buy Asda meat, either...

Halal slaughter practices are still disgusting and should be banned.


No one buys Asda meat.

I did what I could to meat this challenge head on, Beefore it could get out of hand. In the Wurst case scenario, Lives were at Steak!

I'm limited by treaty on how many puns I can use in a day. I was at my quota, so sacrifices had to be made.

I put onions in a tomato sauce once. There's no future in it.



Take a pill, Zoidberg.

I thought the general consensus on eggs was that the amount of Omega-3 contained in them countered the high cholesterol levels.

It all depends on the person their physiology and of course quantities. Eggs are high in cholesterol. If you have or are susceptible to heart disease you probably don't want to be getting all your protein from eggs.

The same can be said about red meat. It's an awesome source of protein. It's high in saturated fats. It's also pushed to be a main component of every meal. No one needs 1/2 pound hamburger to round out a healthy meal, and every meal doesn't have to have meat. But 8 ounces of good grass fed beef once every couple days can go a long way in meeting your protein demands.

Cheeses can be really high in fats and calories without providing much in the way of protein.

Soy lima kidney beans are a great source of protein. Nuts too, but they're high in fat. Yogurts (be very careful of added sugars and stuff) will provide some without also adding much of the fats.

Egg pun opening in a meat pun thread? MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH!!!!! You're all doomed now. Doomed!

The egg came first.
