What we eat...

When all is said and done we don't eat a lot of meat aboard "So It Goes". Face it, meat, as in beef/pork/lamb/chicken/etc, is not all that boat friendly...

Luckily, folks don't really need all that much meat. For instance, an adult male requires around 56 grams of protein a day which works out to a single serving of seven ounces of chicken/beef/pork.

Obviously, we in the US of A eat a lot more animal protein than we actually need.

Truth is, since most people get a lot of protein from other sources (milk products/eggs/beans/nuts/etc) hardly anyone actually needs anywhere near seven-ounces of meat a day...

That being said, from time to time I'm not all that adverse to a big steak or prime rib but it is very much a VERY occasional thing. Though, after reading about current decisions in the USA meat business I expect I'll be eating even less meat in the future.
