“Did you know that “meat” is actually green due to curing (putrifaction), and that the “red” color is a result of chemicals added to change color??”

Nonsense. Putrid implies it has decomposed to an extreme state. The curing process done with beef is to let the meat ‘cure’ or sit in a refrigerated container for about 3 days. This meat is not putrid but it has started the decomposition process. This practice is not normally done with most other meats as they are tender enough naturally.

The beef I’ve butchered was red without any chemicals being added. So your hype is sensational but wrong.

Consuming animal protein is natural and required to keep our bodies healthy. While its true that non-animal sources can be found for most proteins those are generally not as good. I personally know to families who are vegan and their children are severally developmentally challenged. Very poor mental capacity and those children are significantly smaller than other kids their age.

Too much of anything is unhealthy. Heart disease can be attributed to inactivity as much as the diet.

As far as heart disease goes, Slaughter a freerange chicken and you will find it lean. Slaughter a grain fed chicken and you will find fat all around the heart
