“Small quantities of processed meat such as bacon, sausages or salami can increase the likelihood of dying by a fifth, researchers from Harvard School of Medicine found. Eating steak increases the risk of dying by 12%.”

I find this absolutely hysterical! Isn’t the risk of dying still at 100%??? An this is from Harvard? It doesn’t even take a critical thinker to figue this one out.

What a way to go:

Grilled prime beef and broiled lobster tail dinner.

WHAT IS “PRIME” BEEF? WHY IS IT SO EXPENSIVE? Prime beef is aged from 21 to 35 days, which adds 1000% more flavor to the steak. There is a U.S.D.A. Inspector present at the beef plant that hand selects the prime beef from the rest. There are 8 quality grades of beef. U.S. Prime is the highest in the scale. The grade designation assigned to a side of beef is determined by evaluation of sex characteristics, maturity, the quality of lean muscle and the degree of marbeling present in the steak. Prime beef is less than 2% of all the cattle processed in the United States. This specific type of cattle is fed a balanced ration of grain, specifically corn. Corn is what gives the meat marbeling, tenderness, and taste. (Lion's Den Steakhouse, Pompano Beach, Fla).
