There's a pub not far from where I live that specialises in steak in its dining room. The challenge, for people up to it, is to eat a 1KG (2.2lb) steak. I'm with LR: it would take me at least a week, probably more. It would probably be a waste of steak too.

Looks like a fun day! I don't eat red meat but I do remember what it tastes like, and I'm sure your grilled chunks of flesh were delicious.

I used to eat big meals , ice cream and because my wife is a great baker also plenty of baked goods as well . Last year I was 220 lbs but by cutting out ice cream and eating a lot less my weight is now 207 . I had my annual medical this weak , blood pressure perfect , cholesterol perfect and sugar perfect. I have never taken any medicine for anything . Treat food as your medicine other wise medicine will be your food ! When you get older (now 71 ) you need a lot less food .

Everything in moderation. ( except riding ). Nothing wrong with a little red meat two days a week, it provides lots of protein and tastes yummy. My diet is mostly chicken and pork these days which makes the occasional piece of steak or cheeseburger taste that much better.

The occasional soft drink or for some of you beer, wine or spirits or slice of pizza, or baked goods, or ice cream is good for you mentally. Things that make you happy should be included in your life.

Steak is best medicine for hungry and empty stomach.

Do not get me wrong , I love meat , especially steak and veal but now I eat much smaller amounts and do not "have to clear " up everything my wife puts on the table as I did in the past . As Ferret says " everything in moderation " Also we eat a LOT of fruit and never soda's .

Seems to be lots of evidence that consumed BBQ'ed red meat puts the body at risk. However, I reckon the same red meat raw is significantly less so.

Analogue: Raw sushi vs. cooked fish. Short of any toxins and aggressive parasites, sushi is the preferred choice for the human body in regards to fish.
