  This is one of my many issues with the Meat industry - having been a vegetarian for nigh on 6 years I pay taxes to subsidise an inefficient and environmentally harmful industry to slaughter animals for a quick buck.
  
  Then they have the cheek to advertise on UK TV lies about Red Meat being good for you when it isn't at all. Its not necessary for the human diet.

    It's not a lie. Red meat certainly is good me. And it is necessary for my diet. You are entirely wrong.

      Stuff whether it's good for me. I like the taste, damnit.
      
      
my $dinner = new Steak;
$dinner->done("fit for a vampire");
$dinner->eat;

      Red meat is does more harm than good to your body. Even if its 'lean' it still contains a lot of fat and exactly the kind of fat you want to avoid.
      
      I suppose you wouldn't care that by the time you die most americans have over a kilo of rotten meat sitting in the digestive system. Red meat *is* linked to digestive system illness and cancer within the digestive system.
      
      Red meat is bad for you outside of very small doses. Unlike salt which is a necessary part of your diet - red meat is entirely un-necessary.

        Not for my body, no. It does far more good than harm for me.

        Maybe YOU want to avoid it. I don't.

        It's bad enough when the meat comes from healthy animals. The surprising thing is how common it is for red meat in the US to come from drug-soaked sick animals. [npr.org] Antibiotics residues and bovine growth hormones, YUM! It's almost enough to make you not care about mere bioaccumulation of more mundane toxins.
