The World Health Organization (WHO) has reconfirmed that red meat
is bad for us. It is 'poisonous' to our bodies - it causes all sorts of
cancers and should be 'avoided at all costs'. They are almost saying
that ANY amount of red meat - beef, pork and especially processed
versions - will cause our premature demise.
What?
I think we are intelligent enough to know that too much of anything is 'bad' for us - our mother's told us that. But, over the past years, we seem to have been inundated with new information that makes almost any food, in some way, bad for us.
It seems that the vegans are right - well almost right. Fruits and vegetables do contain nearly all the nutrients, proteins and minerals that we need. But, what quantities of these would we need to consume to get ALL those nutrients that our body needs? Why do we have dental structures that are designed to chew and breakdown meaty fibers?
I don't know about others, but I wonder why we were created with the ability to eat, chew, swallow, digest and metabolize non-plant materials. I always thought that we were omnivores by design. Even the Bible says that in the beginning, we had every plant at our disposal and they were good. Then, we had animals that were created for not only food, but clothing - and that was good.
So, where does that leave us? I believe we can and should have a variety of foods as we were designed to enjoy. It is also true that too much of anything is indeed bad for us - too much alcohol, too much pop, too much sugar, too much starch, too much fish, too much meat and more. Where do we balance the nutritional benefits (and maybe even any nutritional detriments), to the human desire to enjoy the culinary delights of this world?
Well, I believe we must look to substitutes. Most nutrients, minerals and proteins can be obtained from safer alternatives. There has been much written about supplementing 'real' food with proven nutritional supplements that in proper combination can produce health-positive effects without the detrimental effects of certain food groups such as red meats.
I love meat! I love having some steak at times, pork chops, ribs as well as chicken and fish. I don't think I really want to never again have a BBQ and I don't think I really want to never again have a hamburger.
I believe we can have some of nearly anything that is considered food fit for humans. Perhaps, we should do a review of our dietary intake of protein and see from where we are getting it. Then, look at the alternatives that will give us the same quantity and quality and substitute them for daily health.
There are many health and wellness products that are aimed specifically at areas of nutrition such as protein. You will benefit by using proven, effective and safe nutritional supplements to obtain the overall requirements of good nutrition for our bodies.
Yes, Virginia, you may have a BBQ and a pot roast and a chop - but just not every day.
