I am not much fan of non-vegetarian dishes. I feel that consuming non-vegetarian items with coke etc. does not help much, it may affect had on our digestive system.

I love barbecues but I'm pretty sure that all that grilled meat would take it's toll on anyone's health if eaten too much!

I like BBQ but i don't have it often, i like enjoying the BBQ with friends especially in food court of Wujianglu in Shanghai, the taste is better there.Yeh, the BBQ is not healthy and u may even think the food is not clean,but the we're all lured by its taste and the happy time with friends.

I like BBQ and it smells and tastes well. However, I don't think it's healthy because the food is usually burned. But I think it's OK that you don't eat it often. Sometimes we will eat the unhealthy or junk food even if we know it's not so healthy. In my opinion, the life will be quite boring that you only eat "healthy" food. That means to say that probably you have to eat steamed vegetables all the time without anything. But it can ensure that you will be healthy forever. Some people still have a long lives even if they don't have a perfect healthy diet habit.
I love China

hi
i dont think that barbecued food is unhealthy if cooked in right way-i dont think it causes cancer either-there is no solid proof to establish this. I just love barbecue parties-we invariably have barbeque party at my home on sunday. we do it on our terrace, with some music,whisky or vodka. we usually stick to chicken,potatoes and fish BBQ.to cook ur own BBQ and gulp it down with some booze is the best thing u can do.

I love barbecue! I think it's one of the best food ever made. I love pork or chicken barbecue. I love the sweet marinade and the smokey flavor of barbecue. I think it really compliments the taste of the meat. Yeah, i'm sure barbecue isn't healthy in a sense that the burnt meat can really cause cancer because it contains carbon. So i guess it is really not advisable to eat barbecue on a daily basis. Hmm... if Coke with barbecue isn't healthy then i guess we can always use alternative like pineapple juice. It is known to prevent cancer right?

hi there cindy:-) yes i like barbecue but not so much as i am aware that eating too much may cause harm to the body. i just eat it in moderate amounts and avoid the burnt food as they are said to be cancerous...on the other hand i think barbecued meat is much healthier than the fried ones.

I love bar-b-que. It is high fat so I only eat it on holidays. If I have to have BBQ on other times, I eat BBQ beans. It's ok to eat fatty foods sometimes as long as you eat the healthy stuff most of the times. Whole grains, veggies, fruit. beans. Instead of soft drinks, try fruit juices or even milk.

Actually,I don't like often eat BBQ, what's more, I don;t like it, and it's ture that eating more will be adverse to our health. After having fun with friends for BBQ, I always have herbal tea . Although it's tasted, I will felt bad after several days. So my suggestion is eat less as you can.

I really enjoy barbecue food! i don't think the part about cancer is true, i don't believe drinking coke or eating food that has been cooked on a barbecue rather than the oven etc would cause cancer! it is still gettin cooked just the nsame so. I think barbecued food has a delicious flavour and i enjoy having friends over for barbecues when the weather is nice!!! try putting a banana with slits in, put chocolate buttons inside the slits and cover in foil, put on the barbecue for 5 mins and it is yummmmmyyyy!!!!

Hello cindy. Three years ago when part of us teachers were organized for a trip in one of our local scenic spots, I was one of them. When it was lunch time, we were organized to have a barbecue with five people for having one barbecue. It was my first real time barbecue in life and I have to say that I enjoyed it a lot though I don't think that it is a healthy style of eating.

I love BBQ, for me, the meat is tastier when cooked this way but there is a danger in eating too much BBQ. Burned meat has carcinogens and carcinogens are very cancerous. If you're a cancer carrier, better stay away from BBQ because too much of it can trigger cancer.

BBQ's is the same for any type of food, anything taken in large volume can be bad for your health.
Look at milk if you get full fat milk that can cause high colesteral due to its high fat content etc etc.
So in answer to your question I dont think BBq's and meat or cola etc etc are harmful to your health to a point of causing cancer. I think you have more chance of getting cancer from being out in the sun with the UV rays etc etc.
Everything in moderation, and you will be fine.
As as cavemen I assume as I wasnt alive then ha ha ha, we were hunter gatherer's and eating meat from animals that we had killed almost everyday aswell as berries and veg etc etc.

hi, i don't like BBQ,but i like the processing of cooking, some days ago, our colleague go to BBQ at a good place,we are cook pork and chicken and some vegetables.twenty minutes late the food was burned black, but the food isn't ok for eating,unfortunately, we haven't eat anything, all of the food seem more terrible. it is a bad experience for BBQ,however, the process for cooking is very interesting.
