Renton 17977 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I'd say it's canny important to have some idea about where your food came from tbh. It's a huge factor in whether or not you're gonna be healthy. It really isn't. Personally, I like to eat more expensive meat and wouldn't touch the likes of cost co. But then I can afford that luxury. I think it tastes a bit better but am not arsed about the morality arguments. But I'm under no illusion that its more healthy or that it will make me live longer, because I understand biology and in particular how the gastrointestinal system works. If you think differently, then can you provide evidence? Said it before, but for a footy board this place is embarrassingly middle class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is far more middle class than it was so it's no surprise this board reflects that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but most the posters here don't even go to the football any more. I'm not after this season mind. Still, I increasingly think the content on GC is odd.

There's no one more middle class on here than you, Mr Tynemouth Stained Glass Window. And no, I don't have evidence and I'm not interested in looking for it. Stands to reason though (in my mind at least) that eating an animal that isn't diseased looking and has been fed a better diet is going to be better for you than one that has.

Still, I increasingly think the content on GC is odd. I don't go anymore apart from the odd cup game or away game when my pal can blag a ticket from a ST holder. I agree some of the GC content has me wondering if it's me who's the odd one out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 20004 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Caring about food isn't strictly a middle class trait these days though is it? Just look at all the food shows on telly these days. Industrial scale factory farming is humanity at its worst. Anyone that doubts it should watch the documentary Food Inc. often the farmers don't want to rear the animals in such appalling conditions but they're forced in to it through contractual arrangements with the big food companies. Company profit margins determine how poor the quality of the meat that the majority of people eat these days is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have a monopoly on the middle class shit, now I've been overtaken by the plebs. Anyway, point was its ok for you to eat organic food but the reality is most people can't afford it and there is no evidence or plausible reason for health benefit afaik. Also, organic food isn't globally sustainable, so IMO could actually be considered immoral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 27363 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 On the other hand, we've recently read about one of our posters being tied up on a cart and being pelted with rotten vegetables on General Chat so perhaps the middle class haven't completely taken over yet?

Renton 17977 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Gemmill's talk of mutant chicken breasts has put me right off. Tbh all my meat comes from m&s. Expensive and ripped off? Possibly. Lovely meat? Definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9103 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 To be honest it depends what I'm making; if I'm slopping out a ton-load of Chilli, then the Lean Beef mince from Sainsbury's will do, if I'm doing steak then it's the local butchers for me.

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I'm convinced there's something not right. The chicken in particular. The chicken breasts are about equivalent to 3 normal sized ones. Lidl is the way forward for meat, veg and bread Rusty Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
