what is your favorite vegetarian meal?

Cadbury's creme eggs.

I eat some meat from time to time, but only free range, and like a few times a year... otherwise, I am a fan of vegi stir fry, and the like... sushi that doesn't involve death is also nice.


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - People who eat a lot of red meat and processed meats have a higher risk of several types of cancer, including lung cancer and colorectal cancer, U.S. researchers reported on Monday.

The work is the first big study to show a link between meat and lung cancer. It also shows that people who eat a lot of meat have a higher risk of liver and esophageal cancer and that men raise their risk of pancreatic cancer by eating red meat.

"A decrease in the consumption of red and processed meat could reduce the incidence of cancer at multiple sites," Dr. Amanda Cross and colleagues at the U.S. National Cancer Institute wrote in their report, published in the Public Library of Science journal PLoS Medicine.

The researchers studied 500,000 people aged 50 to 71 who took part in a diet and health study done in conjunction with the AARP, formerly the American Association for Retired Persons.

After eight years, 53,396 cases of cancer were diagnosed.

"Statistically significant elevated risks (ranging from 20 percent to 60 percent) were evident for esophageal, colorectal, liver, and lung cancer, comparing individuals in the highest with those in the lowest quintile of red meat intake," the researchers wrote.

The people in the top 20 percent of eating processed meat had a 20 percent higher risk of colorectal cancer -- mostly rectal cancer -- and a 16 percent higher risk for lung cancer.

"Furthermore, red meat intake was associated with an elevated risk for cancers of the esophagus and liver," the researchers wrote.

These differences held even when smoking was accounted for.

"Red meat intake was not associated with gastric or bladder cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, or melanoma," added the researchers, whose study is freely available on the Internet at http://medicine.plosjournals.org/perlse ... t-document& doi=10.1371/journal.pmed.0040325.

Red meat was defined as all types of beef, pork and lamb. Processed meat included bacon, red meat sausage, poultry sausage, luncheon meats, cold cuts, ham and most types of hot dogs including turkey dogs.

Meats can cause cancer by several routes, the researchers noted. "For example, they are both sources of saturated fat and iron, which have independently been associated with carcinogenesis," the researchers wrote.

Meat is also a source of several chemicals known to cause DNA mutations, including N-nitroso compounds (NOCs), heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

Jeanine Genkinger of Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., and Anita Koushik of the University of Montreal said the findings fit in with other research.

"Meat consumption in relation to cancer risk has been reported in over a hundred epidemiological studies from many countries with diverse diets," they wrote in a commentary.

i'm no a vegetarian (no i can't be bothered to fight out the debate for once) but i gotta say me favourite vegetarian food gotta be felafals, squished into a flatbead with ridiculous amounts of houmous, garlic sauce and fresh chopped tomato

MOTHERFUCKIN EXCELLENT

or one that PK is also a favourite of, if you got left over potatoes + veg. mash that up, crack and egg in it, stir that all in then fry it as little potato cakes, also fuckin excellent

After my meat sabbatical which helped me realise which meats I missed and which I didn't, Chicken & Pork in their pure form were down at the bottom of the list. I do enjoy some Bacon & Ham product but thats about it, sausages have to be of the finest order for me to even consider them.

some courgettes, red onions, sweet potatoe, tomatoes, peppers (and whatever else you fancy) in the oven coated in olive oil. Cook for 45 mins/hour till nice and soft, take out and stick in Pitta. Add yoghurt/and or Humous and you have a meal fit for a king!

to me, eating a pig is the closest thing to eating people. they way our bodies are designed is very similar, its the reason why may have pig organ transplants some day.

not to start a fuss - im sure a few of you might eat people too - just something to think about.

i love vegan soul food - i cant think of anything i enjoy more

celery soup is badboy

posting in three food threads in as many minutes, anyone would think i'm some sort of fat bastard or something!
