But they were quite small. Often when I cook a steak I only eat half and then have the rest, thinly sliced in sandwiches, a day or so later, for lunch.<BR/><BR/>But of course you are right. We British/Canadian/American types eat too much meat which is not good for us or the planet. And I have the waistline to prove it!Stephen Reeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14557925284157387548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871705412953857530.post-86021306543508287072008-04-17T11:19:00.000-07:002008-04-17T11:19:00.000-07:00It's funny but a few years ago that kind of meal w...It's funny but a few years ago that kind of meal would have left me salivating and wanting more. Now I am down to half the days of the week where I barely eat meat, and the other half where my meal contains less than 100g of meat - as a result I just can't do steaks anymore. <BR/><BR/>I partly attribute this to the fact that my Chinese wife has gradually been switching me over to Chinese style cooking in the 5 years or so that we have been together. Richmond is so close by for us and as a result we can partake in the wide variety of tofu and other asian food goodies available at T&T and other Chinese supermarkets - also thinly sliced meats that reduce the amount of meat intake in a given meal. Now I can barely eat steak or roasts anymore - it's just too heavy for me. And while I still occaisonally crave a classic bacon and eggs with toast style western breakfast, after eating it I feel slightly ill and sluggish. Congee or oatmeal for me!<BR/><BR/>Sorry I am not criticizing your eating habits, but after reading some of the comments about health on your other blog I was thinking about how diet plays a major part in health. Yes, we need to walk much more, but on the whole I think we westerners eat far too much meat, and unlike the Chinese when we do eat meat it is in large pieces rather than mixed in with vegetables. <BR/><BR/>Just a few thoughts. Great picture!Coreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09898009214875407226noreply@blogger.com
