I have meat everyday at least at tea[dinner] anyway. I have fish quite a lot though which I guess is still meat, fish is awesome :) nice piece of cod does the trick.

As far as I know it's still a mixture of high fat diets and consumption of rich sugars and carbs that is an issue. I wouldn't say animal fat is completely healthy. Of course it can be part of a healthy diet. But I wouldn't suggest going downing the some fat, even if it isn't saturated.

And isn't fish oil more effective at boosting brain function than red meat animal fats?
Again, as I said, diets high in fat have never been shown to cause any health related issue I know of, such as heart disease where they get a lot of undeserved blame. In fact, I know of many people who have switched to paleolithic diets which are high in protein and fat and low in carbs (with no refined sugars or grain products) compared to what the USDA recommends and they often have chronic health issues disappear. In fact, Dr. William Davis (who just released a book that I've heard is quite interesting on the topic of wheat) stated in an interview that he hasn't seen a single heart attack from people who follow his dietary recommendations and cut grains while eating more protein and fat. Given that he's a cardiologist that's fairly significant. You can find the interview, not to mention links to a lot of other good information, here: http://www.fathead-movie.com/

As for fish oil, it certainly is important as it's the best way to get Omega-3 fatty acids. Most meat you buy in stores is grain fed and low on Omega-3's (fish being an exception of course as far as I know). If you don't supplement with Omega-3's then the ratio of Omega-6's to Omega-3's in most people can be as much as 20:1, when a 1:1 ratio is generally considered about ideal. Skewing towards Omega-6's has been linked to increased incidence of depression and reduced brain functions.

As to saying animal fat isn't completely healthy: what makes you think that. There's never been a study showing it isn't. Some studies have shown weak correlations between meat consumption and diseases like heart disease, but these are always observational studies which can't draw any causal relationship by design, and never seem to eliminate other factors which have proven to be issues such as carb intake in the form of sugars and grains, and even smoking in some studies. And perhaps more to the point, the majority of the saturated fat we eat gets converted to unsaturated fat once it's in the body, so why saturated fat specifically would cause an issue while others don't seems pretty suspect to me. Especially when you consider the only way our ancestors could have gotten enough fat for our brains to develop as they have over millions of years (our brain being mostly made up of the stuff) is by eating animals.

Funny you mention it, because I've been thinking recently how rarely I eat meat other than fish. I love fish, especially salmon :)

Not so much as i used to, because i'm at college and lack the kitchen facilities, time, and most importantly skill to cook myself nice dinners, but whenever i'm home i eat it with just about every meal. Mmm roast beef...

Also my mother makes the best NY strip steak on this or any other planet.

I eat everyday, but when i do its usually cereal or something because it doesnt take time to prepare. I would eat more meat if you didnt have to cook it. Ok, I suppose you dont HAVE to but I prefer it cooked. I'd say I definitely do go days without it but its rare that I go 2 in a row without it.

Daily. There are some tasty offerings at the on-campus dining halls, and there's always something (or several somethings) with meat in it.

I eat meat (lean beef and chicken) on a daily basis. Red meat, usually very rare with just the tiniest bit of marine salt. When it's chicken, I clean it as much as I can, since I cannot tolerate chicken skin. No salt, just herbs and a good raw pepper, such as a whole Chipotle.

No meat for more than 2 days makes me understand zombie behaviour earnestly.

Pretty much everyday I eat some kind of meat/meat-like substance, generally low-grade lunch-meats or the kind of greasy rat meat served at fast food restaurants, so I guess there's a decent chance that I haven't eaten any actual meat in over three weeks.

Virtually never. I don't eat meat.

I tend to buckle on special occasions and such, but that's MAYBE monthly.

You know man cooking that LRR does? Yeah, that is basically my recipe book which 104% of that recipe book is meat. Also, the recipe book is made out of meat. I don't eat pork though. It tastes too bitter for me.

Daily because im not a veggie or vegan, meat is good for you people!

Meat is good for you. Excessive salts, cholesterol, and fat is not(which comes with meat depending on where you get it and how it is prepared).
