When bacon was deemed bad did it for me

I’m not going to let a salad sit for eight hours at room temp

This is a split hoofed animal that chews the cud. It’s good for food. The problem with it is in the finishing. They are finished (fed) foods to make fat and increase weight.

The study is flawed.

What makes colesterol problems is starches. Eliminate starches and the body changes its chemistry to use the over abundant fats as energy.

Also, if vitamin C is too low, the body will utilize calcium for blood vessel repair. Viola..atherosclerosis is born.

Funny how we don’t see many studies on the effects of junk food.

There is an agenda here with red meat.

Pickle is the same and you did not die. You can eat the pro biotic powder straight like most. Or eat the salad right away.

“I would think they would attempt to distinguish red meat from processed meat. Not the same thing.”

Why should they? Since, if they do that, they won’t get the results they need for continued funding.

I quit listening to dietary “research” when the government said eggs and butter were bad but margarine (trans-fats) were good.

The statement above is very good advice.

I tend to eat more fish and chicken and a lot of veggies.

Very good advice and we need to lose weight so red meat and breads will make you gain weight as well.

You can’t believe anything they say anymore.

To paraphrase George Carlin,* “Steak is worth cancer.”

If grim death himself were serving me my chatueabriand, my response would be to ask, “Please pass the Bearnaise sauce.”

* Carlin originally said it of bacon, but both are equally true.
