[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought that all the old studies saying eggs and all red meat was bad for you were debunked. Lean red meats, especially bison, emu and lean cuts are supposed to be healthy. Eggs are considered healthy now too.

People who don't know much about industrial beef production are usually surprised to find out that American cows gain most of their weight in feed lots, where they are cramped into small, filthy and overcrowded spaces.  They are fed corn (raised with pesticides and trucked to the feedlot by diesel powered trucks), which they aren't evolved to eat, so it makes them sick.  That and the general unhealthy, cramped and filthy conditions require that they be routinely force fed antibiotics so that, although the suffer enormously, they don't die until they are ready to become steak and hamburger.
