I knew someone would come in and say that. First, most of the meat eaters I know eat meat at every meal. Bacon or sausage for breakfast, ham, bologna, pizza with pepperoni, or hot dogs for lunch, and some kind of meat for dinner. 3 x 7 = 21 times a week. Even if we take meat out of one meal every day, that's 14 times a week. So 10 is really below average.

Second, the study shows a 50% increased risk with 10 meals a week. That doesn't mean no risk at 9 or 5 or 3 times a week. You got 1-49% risk still up for grabs at lower than 10 meals. Since there's no safe level of a toxin, eating any amount of meat over time increases your risk of eye degeneration, whether it leads to blindness or not. Now, of course, this study can't tell us what in meat is doing that. The added chemicals or something natural to meat. The next study would need to have one group eating orgainc meat and the other not.

And I knew that you'd reply with something like this
Well, I consider myself a "meat eater" and even when I used to eat it more often it was nowhere 10 times/week - more like 5-7 times/week max.

I can't picture myself eating meat for breakfast. I sometimes eat meat for dinner and that's usually when I eat fast foods. I eat 2 meals/ day, probably about 1/3 of my dinners contain meat.
I think most of my friends don't eat much more meat than I do and definately it's not 10 times/week.

I'm well aware of some studies about meat being unhealthy etc. etc. but I just wanted to point out the frequency of eating it which in my opinion is statistically way lower and I think that people who eat meat more than 10 times/week, let alone over 20 times/ week are very rare, at least those that I know.

May be cultural, but Jokerman definitely has a point. Slice of bread with salami or ham, hot dogs, pizza, salads with pieces of ham, I know for a fact that I eat meat more than 10 times a week.

MEAT WILL MAKE ME GO BLIND?!!!!

No, no, that's red meat. I hardly know anyone who eats red meat. Red meat is Pusha T ehhyuk. Chicken, my favorite meat, on the other hand...

However, they also found that people who ate chicken at least three times a week were 50 per cent less likely to develop the condition.

Wooo!

saying red meat dulls the senses, is the same as old folks sayin' that they can't see or hear properly, it's a complete farce

i don't plan to.. I skipped being a vegetarian and went straight to being vegan. There are times when its challenging, but its not the food, it's the time constraints. Some days I need fast food b/c well, its fast. LOL.. but other than that... The benefits outweigh the negatives for me.
