smoked meat harmfull to your health?

[linguica]

Three things to remember:

Give thanks

Eat in moderation

We are all going to die anyway so why not on a full stomach

And not one full of wild hickory nuts and vegan hot dogs.

"Moderation increases enjoyment, and makes pleasure even greater."

I guess this came from an old guy called Democritus?

I was never good at learning the wisdom of his teaching.

As a young'un, I always thought more was better.

For the young'uns?  I would recommend following Democritus.

It might buy you five or ten years more in the nursing home.  In diapers?

For us old farts?  It might be too late for us?

Do as I recommend, not as I did!  And especially not as I do! 

Good luck and good smoking.

I would like to buy a smoker and do my omv smoking of pork, beef and chicken. However my wife declared that i will be eating the product alone, because she believes, that smoked meat is harmfull to human health. Is she correct, or is she mistaken?

Now, I'm gunna tell you what she's sayin now that I've let the boys go on.

She's tellin you "ah, no, if I can't bag that pair of Louboutin's you sure as hell aren't getting a smoker!!" - if you wanna spend the $$ on a smoker, tell her to go get herself a little something... Or score and suggest ya'll hit the mall together!

Me, I bought my husband a smoker... But now he's not allowed to touch it :) I did a bit of reverse psych on him >:)

There's more than a nugget of wisdom in what she said. I've been married 28 yrs and have learned there is a"marriage survival guide" that is unique to every couple. My guide states that if i want to buy something (even with my own money) i have to buy her a "thoughtful" gift of about the same value. Not romantic, but i said "survival guide" didn't i. Learn to make concessions or remember how it was when you where a bachelor. nuff said?

As to this statement, i haven't got a freakin clue as to what the lady is saying. Women are from venus men are from mars!!

PS Smokesum, no offense is intended. But as you are in NC and i in CA i'm some what sure i'm out of rifle range.

The original "health scare" was about nitrosamines which are found in cured meats such as ham or bacon, not smoked or grilled meats like pork ribs or steak. It is a misconception that eating smoked or grilled meats is unhealthy simply because they contain no nitrates, which are necessary for nitrosamine formation. There is no evidence that the "char" on grilled meat in unhealthy to eat either. Cured meats if cooked correctly also do not pose a health risk- this is an interesting article on the subject-

Here's an article that has some contradictions.   I can't seem to find an answer as to whether the smoke itself has carcinogens or just the char.  First they say the smoking process is what's bad for you.   Then later in the article they say smoked fish and chicken don't increase your risk.  I'm just going to keep on enjoying life and smoking meat.   If we mitigated our risk for everything in life we'd live in a plastic bubble inside a bunker (and then find out the plastic emits carcinogens that will kill you and the stale air from being underground is bad for you lol).

Jeez..what is the world coming to?  Smoked meat will kill you, gas prices are on the rise, and now they found horse meat in Ikea meatballs.....what's next?

I am not sure what is more troubling, horse meat or the fact that Ikea is SELLING MEATBALLS!!!!!!    

 

[Dutch]

Can you imagine the mess you'll have trying to screw those meatballs together?

Oh man, that is funny.  Thanks, I needed a good laugh! 

  I wonder if any one at Ikea was doing this?

Good luck and good smoking.

Lol, think you missed the tongue in cheek joke here; we already knew ikea has a bomb-a$$ cafeteria (and always had, as far as I ever knew!) but rather that they are a company based out of Europe where a HUGE scandal has surfaced regarding a major meat supplier has been supplementing their "ground round" with ponies...

I am we'll aware of this, I am a horse owner, with a handful of bomb-a$$ ponies.

-as an aside most of us horse-owners believe in equine slaughter. I wouldn't eat it. But wow-how wrong is the most hugely populated country, India, to not eat a cow! Or Muslims not to eat pork? Lol MORE FOR US!

No, I got the "tongue in cheek" humor in most of the last posts, except maybe in ScooterMagoo's where it apparently went over my head and I took him seriously.
