    Why looking at meat makes calmer blokes.

    From: NewsCore November 09, 2010

    THE sight of cooked red meat has a calming effect on men, scientists claim. Researchers at McGill University, in Quebec, Canada, studied 82 men and found that the sight of meat appeared to make them significantly less aggressive.

    At the start of the research, Frank Kachanoff, the psychologist who led the study, expected humans to react aggressively to the sight of meat - but found the opposite to be true.

    He said the calming effect could be traced back to the earliest humans, because cooked meat reminded males of mealtimes.

    Our ancestors would be calm as they would be surrounded by friends and family at mealtime, said Dr Kachanoff.

    The research team at McGill said the latest research was important because it examined ways society could influence environmental factors to decrease the likelihood of aggressive behaviour.
