Human Flesh

<div class="IPBDescription">Red or White...???</div> Is human flesh red or white.... I've wanted a definte answer on this for years now... and no one ever knows... What I suspect is that it is white, because we have more in common with a pig than we do a cow... and, talking to my dad, who used to be a firefighter, he said when human cooks, it smells like pork. Now my question is:

Is human red or white meat?


... and please no posts saying how stupid this post is... I'm serious, i want to know.

    Red when we still have blood in us but drain all the blood and we are white meat. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Red + White = Pink

    Thats our skin colour,

    oh and what about people of a different race?

    No I am being serious. There is no debating about it. Our meat is white regardles of race.

    i was under the impression, probably from movies like fargo, that we were red meat. but i suppose with skin tone as moonlight-pale as mine red meat would show through! we must be white meat.

    I heard Human flesh burning is one of the worst smells, probably all the hair.

    We incinerate pigs when the die of causes before their time, the mixture of hair, deisel fuel, and charred flesh is a very bad smell, sometimes a gagging smell.

    I say parts are white and parts are dark (what a morbid discussion <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> )

    I will say it again. Our meat is only red when our blood has not been drained.

    It don't matter if it's red or white!

    Stop the racism!

    Hmm, how can it be racism if we don't know what color it is, were just being prejudice <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    crematoriums smell like hamburger grills. im sorry, its disgusting but true.
  • BurrBurr Join Date: 2002-11-19 Member: 9358Members
    see, theres a difference in smell between <b>Cooked</b> meat and <b>Charred</b> meat. Coked meat smells good, but when it gets charred its a pretty bad smell.

    How is it racism? If you consider that being racist then you must live a very shielded life my friend.

    the color of the meat is not a race. So thereby its not racism! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Is this some sort of taboo, the true identity of the colour of our meat? I mean is it really too much to know.

    I think it depends on how athletic the person is. If a guy is like ripped its probably going to be darker then somebody that sits on the couch all day.

    Dude are you blind? I have said more than once now that it is white. Why do you think the quote "The other white meat" came about?

    humans have both (actually I think all animals do).
    white meat are 'low stamina, high performance'-muscles so to speak (can't keep it active continuously, but is fast), like arm muscles for example.
    red meat are 'high stamina, low performance''-muscles (muscles that serve the purpose of posture and are slow), like the deep back muscles you have alongside your spine (not the latissimus dorsi though).
    red muscles fibres have more myoglobin (the oxygen-binding protein of the muscles) because they draw their energy mostly from aerobic metabolism and have more mitochondira and capillaries, which is why the look red, while white muscle fibres draw their energy mostly from anaerobic metabolism.
    at least that's how I learned it at uni, don't know whether the vernacular use of 'red and white meat' is a different one.

    "The other white meat" refers to pork, saying its the other white meat other than chicekn or fish

    Human flesh is <span style='font-size:25pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'><b>RED!</b></span></span>

    I'm pretty sure about that.

    I concur with the theory that it depends on how the muscles are used. Turkeys have a mixture because they use their leg muscles different from how they use their breast muscles (which is very little, since they're basically flightless). Chickens are completely white meat because over centuries they've been bred to not move around very much. And wild geese have almost all dark meat because they actually use all the muscles in their body.

    Your average couch potato is probably very similar to a pig in terms of the quality of muscle mass, whereas a professional athlete is probably more similar to a cow.

    it's not a theory though, it's simple observation that lead to classification into red and white muscle fibres, also the muscle fibres do not change in class when you train them [edit: but of course they change in structure, i.e. the red muscle fibres develop more mitochondria and capillaries thus getting 'redder' and white muscle fibres enlarge their chaches of glycogen, number of myofibrilles (english sp?) and their cell bodies, thus getting 'whiter']

    It's white... red meat comes from animals that eat grass... so perhaps vegans have red meat?
  • ZelZel Join Date: 2003-01-27 Member: 12861Members
    and those fast flicker fishies are white. makes sense!

    you can say that people are red meat because of horror movies, but keep in mind the terms red meat and white meat refer to post-cooked colors. uncooked chicken is pink, uncooked pork is pink, but both turn white and then brown. hence, WHITE MEAT. but cow is red then turns reddish brown, so it is RED MEAT. the reason no knoe knows is because even if doctors see uncooked flesh all the time it is rarely seen fried properly. burn victims char and whatnot, i mean cooked properly like hannibal style.

    im gonna go with NeedDirections bi-color theory because it sounds the msot supported, and DuBERS 90% white theory.
