I eat animal carcass. I feel like I'm at an AA meeting... Heck, if God didn't want us to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them out of meat.

Seriously though, I don't see how anyone can deny the problems with eating high amounts of saturated fats. The only time I know of people can get away with it without negative side effects are if they're in ketosis. And even then, there are no long term studies of keto diets. (FYI, proponents of the Atkins/keto diets like to use the Inuits' high fat diets as examples. However, the Inuits' diet consists mostly of unsaturated fats high in Omega 3s, not the saturated fats of fowl and red meat.)

I don't think of it in terms of "meat is bad," but in terms of "excessive meat is bad." Heck, my portions are too big all around. As with everything else, temperance is a virtue.
