Santa brought me a Sig Sauer SP2022 9mm. really looking forward to breaking it in at the range.

s it possible that the meat and milk the tribesmen consumed did not come from cows that had been injected with steroids and fed grain?i am convinced that grass fed ,noninjected beef,pork and chicken are the way to go.it has recently become a big business in the northeast.new yorkers are paying thousands of dollars a year to "organic" farms in order to receive produce and meat directly from the producer.



there have been a number of recent studies demonstrating that many of the bad properties found in beef raised on grain and steroids are not there in beef raised on grass. so, not shockingly, a diet that makes the cow sick (force feeding them a diet that isn't natural to them) is producing meat that may not be healthy for humans to consume.

AN INCONVIENENT TRUTH! Just like the global warming crowd..toss out the data that doesn't fit your agenda..makes life easier.


I don't have a stake in this fight; I believe in eating a well balanced diet that includes different kinds of proteins (beef, fish, turkey, pork, chicken...I like diversity), lots of fruits and vegetables, and carbs in appropriate moderation.

With that said, you are doing exactly what you criticize others of: taking a set of findings that support your point of view and disregarding the rest.

I read the whole article and the take home point is not really that you can eat lots of fatty red meat to no consequence. The take home point is more that we don't have substantial evidence either way...in other words, the jury is still out. that is a far cry from the interpretation that you want to make--eating tons of fatty red meat will have no bad effects.

indeed, the final paragraph of the article says:

quote:

"The message isn't that you should gorge on butter, bacon, and cheese," says Volek. "It's that there's no scientific reason that natural foods containing saturated fat can't, or shouldn't, be part of a healthy diet."


what that final quote doesn't include but certainly implies is that almost everything is fine in moderation.
