[QUOTE="2/B or not 2/B, post: 657094, member: 7233"] Well, no one likes bad publicity for their own bread and butter...did you see that skull and crossbones graphic?! But here is what stood out to me from the article and I don't disagree with it: [i]"To prevent premature deaths related to red and processed meats, Dr. Popkin suggested in an interview that people should eat a hamburger only once or twice a week instead of every day, a small steak once a week instead of every other day, and a hot dog every month and a half instead of once a week."[/i] Who are these people that eat red meat so often? Do you? I certainly don't and I have a chest freezer full of it! The truth is that we need variety in our diet and some people really do eat red meat every day in large portions. No one needs that much saturated fat. Heart disease runs in my family, how about yours? I know beef is our industry, but come on, should we really eat it every day? Eggs, pork, tuna, ice cream? Shouldn't be eating those things every day either as far as I know. Variety is the spice of life. I hope articles like this don't prevent people from giving up red meat all together, but I really don't think they will. It's too delicious and there are some great health benefits too like iron, protein, and beneficial fatty acids. Flame suit ready... [/QUOTE]
