In standard discipline off fashion, we are holding a potluck to celebrate the loss of yet another food group: MAMMALIAN FLESH (aka RED MEAT --- sounds much better, no?)
While red meat is the most manly of food groups, it's tastiness does come at a price. Here's wikipedia summing it up:
The American Institute for Cancer Research and World Cancer Research Fund stated in their report "Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity, and the Prevention of Cancer: a Global Perspective" that there is "convincing" evidence that red meat intake increases the risk for colorectal cancer, and that there is "suggestive" evidence that it increases the risk of oesophageal, lung, pancreatic and endometrial cancer.[9] As a result, they recommend limiting intake of red meat to less than 500g cooked weight per week.[10]
Some studies have linked consumption of large amounts of red meat with breast cancer,[11][12] stomach cancer,[13] lymphoma,[14] bladder cancer,[15] lung cancer[16]and prostate cancer[15][17][18].
While I love red meat, I also love my colon.
So, here are the details:
WHAT: RED MEAT POTLUCK
WHERE: JOEY'S HOUSE IN SSF
WHEN: 1-8 PM ON SATURDAY, 3/26
