Subject: Gluttony
Anyone ever take one of those big steak challenges? You know, eat a 72-ounce steak and win a t-shirt. Here's some stats and facts from the Big Texan restaurant:
Nearly 4800 people have succeeded in eating the 72oz. steak (since 1960).
Almost 30,000 people have attempted to consume the free 72oz. steak (since 1960).
Approximately two women each year successfully eat the steak of the 4 or 5 who try. About 50% of the women who try are successful.
Richard LaFeare chomped his way through 2 steaks on the "Donny & Marie Osmond Show" in 2000.
Frank Pastore, who was a professional pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds, ate the complete steak dinner in 9 and 1/2 minutes.
The oldest person to eat the steak was a 69-year-old grandmother; the youngest, an 11-year old boy.
Klondike Bill, a professional wrestler, consumed two complete dinners in the one hour time limit back in the 1960s.

I couldn't imagine eating that much meat. :-X Especially since I have been a "converted" vegetarian for years now. Bring me a large watermelon and I will attempt to eat that instead. ;) ;D

OK Steve, now were in the 7 deadly sins, I've got most of these covered ;D
Oh yes, I would attempt and conquer that steak. I love beef, I consider myself a "fleshitarian" and justify my love for all meat, flesh and fatty, by reminding people that I'm doing good to the earth. My points-
Vegitarians eat plants that take CO2 and make oxygen, I'm considerate enough to leave the plants alone and consume those air gulping cows.
Vegitarians eat the air cleaners, I eat the air polluters! That's right, those dang cows can stink so I'm happy to throw them on the BBQ and get rid of some of the smell, and lets not forget the other waste they can provide.
Trees, plants, flora/fauna, all that stuff is great to look at, cows are darn homely creatures
-Hey you vegitarians leave the good stuff alone! ;)

Should we start a thread for "Wrath" or "Sloth" now? :D
I eat TONS...I can almost definitely eat half that without breaking a sweat, but by the next day I'd probably have lost all the weight :( crazy Riceburning metabolism!

Let's face it, meat is pretty resource intensive. It takes over ten pounds of feed to create one pound of meat. And our meat is pretty saturated with growth hormones and antibiotics. And these animals have a pretty miserable existence...
That being said, I used meat pretty sparingly nowadays. More as a flavoring than the main feature.
But I love steak, and when you're got a rib-eye craving nothing else satisfies. I could do a 72-oz'er, I think.

Meat good.
Vincent Vega: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood.
Subject: Re: Gluttony
Yeah, meat is good... can't bring myself to eat veal, though. It makes me physically ill.
Subject: Re: Gluttony
Yeah, I just don't eat swine, man.

That was a quote from Pulp Fiction too.
I love to eat pork as well.
My wife's family is form the E Washington State near the Idaho border and we get pork and beef from them. Farm raised and naturally fed.
IT IS SO DAMN GOOD!
It's amazing when you have fresh local farm or home grown and raised meet and produce how much better it really is, even potato's have much better flavor.
MEAT, MEAT, MEAT, I :-* MEAT!!!

...now, that's a haiku with true poetry and feeling...
I was thinking more along the lines of a parody to "Tragedy":
Gluttony - all you want to eat is a ton of meat it's
Gluttony - when I tell you that it ain't low fat
It's hard to bear
To turn vegetarian, there's meat everywhere
or something like that ;-)
