A balance is key as someone already posted it. Now Red meat is bad for your colon but come on you don't need it with every meal. Just balance it out. I have a Vegan friend that won't take certain vitamins because it has Shark cartilage in it....I'm like do what you think is right man but I think it's foolish. We have a plenty of sharks.
When the actor John Wayne died, an autopsy revealed that his intestines had grown to 12 (30 cm's) in diameter with only a small opening in the middle to allow the digestive process to painfully carry on. They said his colon weighed 40 pounds but I think that was a rumor or exaggerated as he also had colon cancer and he was about as red meat as you get in Western Culture.
Don't flame on me, I love some red meat all the time but as we get older, balance is key but who has not seen this is obvious.
Just my 1 cent. |

Of course it it. That's why you eat fish twice a week, some chicken once or twice and then red meat the other 3-4 days, or maybe one day with little to no meat at all.
The best way really. The healthiest and happiest people are those who can achieve a balance in life, not go with these retarded fads that pop up every 6 months and then try and force their habits onto others.
It's the same with keeping a healthy weight. You eat a balanced diet and do regular exercise. You don't overwork your body and diet because that never lasts and if it does, most people aren't all that happy about it. |

You don't have to eat meat to have a balanced diet. Some people just don't really want it or crave it. As for your friend that won't take shark vitamins, I say the sharks and get your nutrition :p |

| You don't, but it's a hell of a lot easier and cheaper if you do. Exotic nuts with certain properties from one single corner of the world aren't exactly available at your local 7/11 everywhere in the world. You guys are too used to the comfortable Western lifestyle. |

Yeah, I def don't agree with red meat as part of a balance diet.
I preferred the white meats. Less fatty and much easier to digest. Plus, I grossed myself out so bad with red meat that I pretty much said - fuk u. I ate it soooo muuuuuccch 3 years ago (damn u george foreman grill!!) Then I went to an 'all u can eat' meat restaurant - with my bf and his friends. I was begging him to turn the coaster to red so they would stop coming to our table. BEGGING!:haha:
But NY is very easy to go organic & natural & veggie. I can find things at my regular grocery. I can go to Trader Joes - a natural & CHEAP market. Whole foods for my rice cheese + some other things but they are a lil expensive. So not much! |

& alot of ppl 'warn' me about getting my protein but it isn't that hard. My soy burgers have 17 g's of protein.
I may not get it in a meat source but mixing things like rice + beans makes a complete protein. |

That's just meatatarians desperate at the thought their diet is not universal, don't worry. I've been getting that all the time, for 10 years. |
