Seeing meat calms you down, study says
Next time you experience road rage or get into an argument with the boss, maybe ordering a nice, big, hunk of steak will soothe your aggression.
Contrary to expectations, a McGill University researcher has discovered that seeing meat makes people significantly less aggressive. Frank Kachanoff, who studies evolution at the university’s department of psychology, had initially thought the presence of meat would provoke bloodlust, believing the response would have helped our primate ancestors hunt. But in fact, his research showed the reverse is true.

Ya know something . . . after eating the awesome crock-pot beef pot roast my wife made last night (and that we just had leftovers of tonight), I feel pretty calm. :cheersmate: :-) :drool:

I'm not surprised. Meat represents good protein and fat calories, which surely made our ancestors (and now us) quite happy :-)

Makes sense. Meat is comfort food. It's probably something primal in our DNA. After the hunt, people would gather to cook the meat and relax around the camp fire. As much as we like to think of ourselves as modern and civilised, were still just the animals that God created.

I just ate a third of a 6 lb. pot roast and I'm feeling pretty calm about it. :cheers1:
