Animal products = cholesterol. This is America, our food industries run off cholesterol. |

depending on your family genetics, you might not have high cholestorl, despite what your diet is.
i'm 150 lbs, and i eat meat probably 3-5x a week. my cholestorol is less than 120 (good range). but then again i don't eat fast food, processed meat.
just speaking from personal experience though. who knows, lews could be some 600 lb fatty who eats mcdonalds meat. :haha: |

| i go to the supermarket and specifically choose the eggs that have "CAGED" stamped on them. i like to support economically-friendly produce. |

Oh and yeah...meats such as pork and beef, have enzymes, which breakdown cholesterol when metabolized with the stomach acid.
Unless you are consuming half a cow a day, cholesterol should be the least of your worries. |

I don't think I needed it to... never had cholesterol issues. I'd say red meat is only 15% of my meat intake anyway. Most of the time I'm dominating turkey, chicken, and fish. |

How is guilt involved in this at all? I don't give a what you eat, so how am I judging you? |
:whip:. How did you not understand me?

No you are an idiot because you live by making rational choices. |

Every few months I'll order some bison and eat that instead of regular cow meat. Way healthier in trems of cholesterol and fat. |

This is very true, that has a large part to do with it. I read in an American Heart Association report that 1 in 3 people in America are living with some kind of cardiovascular disease, a majority being high blood pressure. (85% of the cases being related to obesity)

That's an excellent cholesterol level, but I assume you eat a lot of lean meats (chicken, less-fatty fish, etc).

Perfectly okay. I just hate my friends that live off fast food, it's so disgusting. |
