momofkhm Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I know it's beef. But is it anything else? I have to redo a medical test an can't eat red meat for 2 days prior or during the test, which could take up to 3 days. I can re-figure our dinners for the next several days. Is venison considered red meat? That's the only one I'm not sure of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TN Mama Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I would consider venison to be red meat. But other than that and beef, I'm not sure what else would qualify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I think venison is, but I am not sure. I would also include goat and lamb. I'd stick to poultry and fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizzyBee Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Depending on the purpose of the test, venison might be allowed because it's so lean. But I wouldn't eat it without checking with the doctor's office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kewb Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Bison and Ostrich are both red meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanne in ABQ Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I know that pork produces call pork "the other white meat" (to make it seem healthier), but I would consider it red meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrystal Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I think beef, lamb, goat, bison, ostrich, and venison would all be considered "red meat". I would eat poultry or fish or just go veggie on those days to be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ds who has bad reactions to beef also reacts to venison. The USDA considers ostrich, emu, and bison red meat. Goat, lamb, and pork are not.

Goat, lamb, and pork are not. Goat and lamb are both red enough, and lamb is certainly high fat. I wonder what forces come into play in making these definitions.

Cheryl in NM Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I think duck (boy I had a serious typo there LOL) is considered red meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura From wiki: Gastronomy In gastronomy, red meat is darker-colored meat, as contrasted with white meat. The exact definition varies by time, place, and culture, but the meat of adult mammals such as cows, sheep, and horses is invariably considered red, while chicken and rabbit are invariably considered white. The meat of young mammals such as milk-fed veal calves and sheep, and pigs is traditionally considered white; while the meat of duck and goose is considered red,[1] though the demarcation line has been shifting. Game is sometimes put in a separate category altogether (French viandes noires 'black meats').[2] Myoglobin concentration The main determinant of the color of meat is the concentration of myoglobin. The white meat of chicken has under 0.05%; chicken thigh has 0.18-0.20%; pork and veal have 0.1-0.3%; young beef has 0.4-1.0%; and old beef has 1.5-2.0%.[4] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tea Time Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I loved the quote in the article: "raccoon meat is the ultimate organic food." Given how often raccoons eat out of human trash cans, I find that hard to believe! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
