The past couple of years, I had a hard time digesting the ground beef here. Turns out they use pesticides in ground beef.

Its bad for you, and pretty expensive. I hardly ever eat it.
Not to mention the amount of resources it takes to produce the beef. Ecologically, western meat consumption is a nightmare.

I was a vegetarian for a year just to see if I could do it - now I just rarely eat red meat
but man do I love a good med-rare filet off the grille

i find it difficult to pay any close attention to these types of "findings"
these are the same people who cannot fucking decide if eating eggs is good or bad for you

Alot of this is pure crap. i didn't read it , and I'm not arguing with this article directly.
But health and humanity is such a complex topic, and marketing and feelings effect any true information on the subject.
Their are numerous examples of this. from the idea that water is better for you, the food triangle, cigarettes being good for you ...
every 5 years red wine goes from being helpful to more dangerous than its worth.take this article with a grain of salt. Hopefully on a steak
- our ancestors survived off what they had in the land, being vegetarian is so unnatural , but its sold as being authentic ... up until 50 yeas ago , with mass production, global conglomerates, MARKETING; man could not sustain a proper diet from just eating the locally available vegetation, and needed iron begotten from meat, etc.... I digress, take it with a grain of salt - if this justifies you being a vegetarian so be it. But i dont see meat eaters dyeing off, and being tired all the time. Its mostly in your mind.
- studies are saying, what differentiated us from other primates, were the nutrition we could get from meatMachuse

Red meat isn't bad for you. Having no red meat in your life actually is bad for you, just like eating too much of it is.

Closing statement of the article:
"Lean meat as part of a balanced diet can prevent chronic disease, along with exercise and avoiding smoking."
No shit.

LOL. this is not the way to start making a point. be strong, have a position and stick to it.
I'm a veggie but I don't really give a shit if everyone else eats baby unicorns for breakfast.
(although I am concerned is the ecological impact of meat)
- i wonder how baby unicorns taste likeelektro
- ...urrr - its a way to start making a point thats bigger than this one article. - i have a position and a stuck with itMachuse

in south america they have a system that works very well.. i think what they do is that they alternate pastures so they dont used anything artificial. the cows eat and shit in one pasture while the previous one grows with the shit the cows leave behind and they do it all over again

I also love how vague these studies are. Cancer and heart disease? There are so many forms of those diseases...
It's like saying that playing sports increases the risk of injury. Sure. But unless you break it down more, it means nothing. I mean, there's a much better chance of a basketball player spraining his/her ankle, than dislocating his/her elbow. So, you can't just make a broad generalization like sport = injury, or red meat = cancer. It just freaks people out... and doesn't drive at the root of the issue.
