The meat controversy

These days there is a lot of controversy about whether or not meat is good for us. There are countless studies that have come out saying that meat is bad for us and that we should limit the amount that we eat especially red meat. So is meat really bad for us?

That depends on what kind of meat you are eating. If you eating commercially raised meats and processed meats then those meats are probably not good for you because they are full of toxins, antibiotics, hormones, nitrates, and who knows what. However, if you are eating properly raised meats such as wild game, wild caught seafood, free range poultry, and grass fed beef then I would say that meat is extremely healthy for you.

The issue is not whether or not meat is good or bad for us. The issue is the quality of the meats we are eating. If you are eating high quality meats then you are reducing your exposure to a lot of toxins and hormonal disruptors. Just remember that meat is not bad for you, it is the toxins in the meat that are bad for you. The reason why meat has gotten such a bad reputation in the studies lately is that the meat people are eating in the studies is not the high quality meat that we are talking about. I have yet to see a study that has people eating only naturally raised meats. There is a big difference between eating commercially raised bacon and a buffalo steak. High quality meats may be more expensive but I do feel that they are well worth the extra money.
