I don't think meat is the problem per se, so much as the quantity of meat. The North American meat-centric diet where the bulk of protein comes from low quality, high-fat meat just isn't that healthy. I think even the bloated, meat-filled corpse of Dr. Atkins would agree to that by now.
I'm striving for the model of "5 days a week" vegan, with good quality fish or chicken for 2 meals a week. |
the quality of beef is the issue - grass fed beef - like wild salmon -has more good fat - and fat is essential for digesting vitamins
japan's obesity rate has to do with eating industrialized foods and the growth of fast food chains.
The healtiest and longest lived people in the world - Sarindians, Owkinaowins, - had meat, cheese and fish in their diets.
