Eating a Dog

[Secret Chief]

Here in the US, people are recommended to get more sunshine. Sunshine is the ultimate Vitamin D source. If we would actually go outside instead of playing video games and bingewatching TV, there would be no problem. We have an unhealthy lifestyle.

Sunshine is also a good source of skin cancer.

Sunshine is also a good source of skin cancer.

The evolution of pale skin is imperfect. But obviously, it was more of a help for people to survive, since the genetics spread rather than died out. Again, avoiding sunshine is a sick, unhealthy lifestyle. But a person should obviously try to avoid getting sunburned.

My friend avoids it as she has had skin cancer twice.

People who are sick often have to have lifestyles that are outside the norm. I also have skin cancer. And I have problems with Vit D deficiency because I tend to stay out of the sun due to that. Kind of like how a diabetic has to have an unusual diet.

By eating more fish.

How many people with an omnivore diet eat fish daily? Hardly anyone. And hardly anyone achieves the daily recommended intake of Omega 3.

If you eat fish 2-3 times a week its adequate.

And the rest of the Omega 3 you need is coming from.... where exactly?

Last time I checked into it, that was sufficient Omega 3

 

[PoetPhilosopher]

So dogs though. You may not eat one. But what about out in the wilderness with chili, cheese, and a side of bacon?

Or for vegans.... Tofu, rice, and a side of Friends season 1.

( Just kidding. )

It is not.

I don't think you understand... Chicken is fine. Its red meat that is a problem.

So you agree with the point I have been making all this time, that people suffering from hemochhromatosis can eat meat - contrary to your earlier claim.

 

[KWED]

And the rest of the Omega 3 you need is coming from.... where exactly?

Some nuts, seeds, vegetables and beans are also good sources of omega 3, plus many popular products like Flora have added omega 3. And eggs, of course.

 

[KWED]

It is not.

Two servings of oily fish provide more than the various recommended intakes from dietary organisation.
(The NHS has no numerical recommendation, but advises at least one portion of oily fish per week.)

Both my sister and brother have hemochromatosis, neither of them completely avoids, or has been advised to completely avoid red meat. Maybe the NHS don't know what they're doing?

My daughter and son have it, both occasionally have a steak, its more about the percentage of saturation which is only known through testing. To be avoided as much as possible are foods containing higher amounts of iron. There are other foods besides red meat rich in iron, also to be avoided.

When I think of 'meat' its red meat, chicken, turkey, duck etc. I refer to as fowl, there's the problem, its on me.

Sure. And how many people are acquiring the recommended intake of Omega 3 daily?

Pork is classed as "red meat" but is also low in iron.

When I said...
"People with hemochromatosis can safely eat meat".
You said...
"I strongly disagree."

Now you have admitted that not only is my statement true, but your own children who suffer from the condition occasionally eat red meat (presumably without dangerous consequences).

This has been an interesting, but utterly pointless diversion.

That's because such recommendations have more to do with feasibility than what is the ideal intake.

 

[KWED]

I have no idea, but enough of the goalpost-moving. Your argument was that people can't/don't get omega 3 from other dietary sources. They can and do.

The NHS do not recommend a "daily intake". They recommend at least one serving of oily fish per week.
One serving of oily fish contains 4-5000mg omega 3. The NHS considers this sufficient. If they also eat seeds, nuts, beans, vegetables and eggs, they are likely to by fine, omega 3-wise.
