While were at it why don't we mention the plant foods that are inflamatory. An apple for instance has a rating of -21, while a 1/2 chicken breast is only a -20, baked beans has an imflamatory rating of -106 per cup, while a sirloin steak of 505grams is actually 121 which is moderatly anti-inflamatory, which means you have to eat almost 2 cups of spinich to reach the same anti inflamatory properties of the steak. I'm not downing veggies, infact a large portion of my diet are veggies, just tired of everyone downing a perfectly nutritious food. The steak blew the spinich out of the water in just about every vitamin, and mineral, infact once added up it takes 10 cups of raw spinich to be about equal with the steak in nutrient density. Again not downing veggies, half my diet is veggies, I probably eat more veggies than most vegans that eat alot of beans, and grains, the difference is I eat meat along with it. I understand the importance of plant foods, but also see how good wild, and grass fed meats, and fish make me feel.
