*$5 PER SERVE of meat per day IS too expensive for the average punter.*

But that was your quote and thats what I snipped.

Clearly you need a cup of tea and a calm down for a while :)

Your brother in male bonding referred to $5>>>>>>per adult<<<<<<< being reasonable.

(Which is a nifty little change from the 'per serve' in his other post!).

That IS expensive for the average family.

You then take my RESPONSE to it and revert THAT into weight per serve, instead of cost per serve;- as HE asserts;- because it suits your purpose to do so.

I'll have the cuppa; you need a brain transplant you patronizing git!

*you need a brain transplant you patronizing git!*

Ah Ginx, fun and friendly as ever I see :)

What is reasonable really depends on one's circumstances.
A family on the dole with 5 kids might budget differently
then a DINK couple working for the finance industry.

5$ for a prime piece of grain fed rump is in fact very reasonable,
compared to the cost of other foods. Personally I have no qualms
about spending 5$ on prime meat, t-bones, rump etc.

As was pointed out, peoples priorities seem to be cigarettes,
grog, pokies first, then complain about the food prices!

Smiths Crips cost about 15$ a kg, if you work it out. IMHO
prime grain fed rump at 20$ is quite cheap in comparison and
alot healthier and more nutritious.

The point is, there is no need to spend 5$ a day if you don't have
it. There is still plenty of meat for 2.50 a day, if that is
your budget, again good value for money, compared to other food.

Yes, I worked out the cost per kg, to establish the cost per
serve, which makes perfect sense.

BTW, sexual organs have little to do with these postings, but
then again, given your mood, are you sure you are not suffering
from PMT? :)

Hi all
Good to see Yabby and Ginx are both alive and well. But has somebody hurt PALE's feelings? We seem to have been remarkably insult free for several days.

I don't know what meat costs per day/per serve, but I'd question how healthy it is. Cholesterol ... colon cancer ... arteriosclerosis ... heart disease ...

Enjoy!
Nicky

Nicky insult free? may I ask that you look at Ginx recent posting history all threads?
Your points are worth taking note of age brings new ways of looking at what we eat.
But if we balance our meat intake we will not suffer, fact is we became human only after we began to eat meat.
Yes I am far from old in my view but eat less meat than once, with food like corned mutton on my most wanted lists it may be just as well.

Ginx: "Your brother in male bonding"

What does the gender of the writer have to do with the topic? Why do you feel the need to claim you're the "victim" of some unspecified male conspiracy?
