So I guess that raises your chances of dying to 112% since before this study your chances of dying were only 100%
Let’s see... Davy Jones, Monkee, dead at 66, vegetarian. I know meat eaters MUCH older than that (namely, my dad),and as healthy as a horse!
Unfortunately, with the current price of beef, I’m probably already meeting the targets.
So Alar is ok now?

Excessive government regulation is the cause of one in three deaths.
It’s grains that are extremely bad for us. I’m currently reading The Paleo Solution, by Robb Wolf. According to the author, the havoc brought about by grains, even whole grains, is the cause of many autoimmune diseases and the epidemic of diabetes and heart disease. It seems that Atkins was right all along, carbohydrates, and not protein and fat should be limited in the diet. The carbs you do eat should come from green leafy vegetables and not bread, pasta, sugar.
Red meat with every meal!!!!
If it doesn’t bleed after it’s cooked it ain’t fit to eat!
Whenever a study like this (an observational rather than a prospective controlled trial) finds beneficial news for a vitamin or mineral, the MSM almost always says something like “...but this has not been proven in the gold standard of a double blind clinical trial.” However, they NEVER say this when something bad is found for something good, like steak.
Wow, this is getting me really excited for a fat, juicy cheeseburger for lunch today - I’ll have french fries to counter the effect of the red meat though!!!! I just wish people would leave these studies alone - just like political pols. I’m sick and tired of both because you can get a study or a pol to say ANYTHING you want. People with agenda’s cannot be trusted.
FAIL
I heard a very badly done report about this study on NPR and found it so funny I had to call my wife:
At one point it was asserted that eating red meat daily “increased the risk of death by 30%” !!!
(Someone at NPR needs a grade-school level course in statistics.)
To be fair, they had shortly before mentioned some disease for which the study found a higher incidence of among daily consumers of red meat, and presumably meant a 30% increase in the risk of death from that disease, but that’s not what they said.
Mixing apples and oranges here. Red meat from grass fed animals is very healthful for you. It even contains omega 3 fats.
Processed meat with all the crap in it is closer to poison than food in the way it promotes disease.
Fresh feedlot beef is not great for you (your grocery store beef) because of the risks that the animal was unhealthy, ate bad things, and may have been given antibiotics and hormones. But once in a while is ok.
Huge difference.
I guess Barry and Moochelle are in real trouble wolfin’ down all those steaks they eat.
Maybe, but its a tasty, savory, delicious early death!
Recommended food by the administration is “soylent green”. Look for it in increasing quantities after ObamaCare is enacted.
I eat round steak and gravy nearly every night, and have only made it to age 85. If I had eaten only veggies, would I have made it to age 200?
Or would it only seem that long?
I must inform my 94 year old mother of this study. I am sure she will want to immediately change her eating habits.
