      You sear your toast? Respect.

        Anyone following this story?

        https://www.cnbc.com/2018/11/07/heal...are-costs.html

        Hundreds of billions of dollars could be put toward health-care costs every year if a tax was applied to red and processed meat, Oxford University researchers said Wednesday.

        A new study from the U.K. university said introducing a health tax on such products would offset health-care costs and prevent more than 220,000 deaths a year globally.
        Nutritionists are arguing that it is a dumb idea.

        However, Carrie Ruxton, a public health nutritionist and dietitian, argued that meat consumption had already seen a significant decline in the U.K., adding that red meat provided valuable nutrients to diets.

        "A tax on red meat would be a retrograde step, both for overall diet quality in women and girls and for health inequalities," she said in a statement emailed to CNBC.


        "There is no high-quality evidence linking red and processed meat with heart disease, stroke or diabetes, and a risk of bowel cancer only applies when weekly intakes exceed 700g. As few people in the U.K. are at this level of consumption, a general meat tax would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut."
        I read elsewhere that the main author of the study/proposal is a vegan.

          i'm guessing cowboy would be opposed to such a tax.

            If one were inclined to tax foods that are bad for you, one should focus on corn syrup, fructose, and other sugars. Don't touch my meat!

                And btw, I read The Obesity Code at your recommendation a couple of months ago. I haven't implemented the fasting schedule, but I've reduced my intake of ice cream, candy, chocolate chip cookie <sniff> and other processed carbs by around 75% (which over my lifetime I've consumed in grossly excessive amounts), while maintaining the same caloric intake and exercise regimen. I've lost around 6-8 pounds, getting close to my ideal weight

                  That is awesome!

                  I am lower than I have been in at least 15 years. My weight loss has slowed substantially, but still creeping down. Having to buy a new wardrobe, which is a lot of fun.

                    Last time I was headed to Costco, my wife requested a beef roast. Her plan was to do a crockpot meal and then use leftovers to make pot pie.

                    While at the Costco, I saw that the price per pound for chuck roast was nearly the same as for whole beef loin. I recollected reading here that someone buys that and cuts it into strip steaks. So I tried it. While I was getting ready to cut the steaks, my wife saw the price of the meat and was apprehensive. After dinner, my wife seemed pretty pleased with the results.

                    Thanks, CS.

                      It's been a while since this post - how have you been doing? I've gained 5 pounds since lock down.

                        Up and down a few pounds but still wearing the same clothes! Thanks for asking.

                        A little worried about my quarantine eating.

                          I'd been using the sous vide for our beef entrees except for tri-tip which the smoker does superbly. But for our ribeye steaks this evening I went with the smoker and followed a slightly different procedure: I smoked them (lowest temp) for >30 minutes using oak pellets. Then pulled them off the grill and stoked the Traeger up to nearly 450 (about as high as it'll go), then put them back on for about 8-9 minutes a side. I had used a Montreal steak rub, and added a hefty slab of butter to top things off near the end of the sear (if we're throwing caloric caution to the wind, why not?). I wish I'd taken them off a little sooner (temps had hit 138), but they were still very moist, tender, and delish. Mrs. PAC was unusually effusive in her praise.

                          Sorry, no pics, but this really happened.

                            I bought a (loin?) roast from Costco the other day and put it in the freezer, planning to pull it out after two or three hours to cut it into NY strip steaks, package them into FoodSaver freezer bags, and freeze them for later consumption. Except I just left the roast in the freezer until yesterday when I transferred it to the refrigerator.

                            After splitting it into steaks, carving off the excess fat, and packaging them for freezing, I'm not sure it was worth the fuss. I might just go with the NY strip steaks next time instead.

                            My Victorinox Fibrox chef's knife did alright. Any other blade that does better at cutting up mostly frozen roasts?
