As a long-time devotee of grass-fed meat, I was particularly interested in this episode of The Doctor's Farmacy.
Meat has become such a controversial topic in recent years, with untold numbers of articles touting a "plant-based" lifestyle that excludes all animal products as the fountain of youth and longevity, and still others extolling the virtues of high-meat diets such as the "Carnivore Diet," or "traditional" diets with a modern spin, such as the Paleo Diet.
In fact, the topic of meat eating is extremely complex and nuanced, and it's neither fair nor correct to say that all meat is good, nor that all meat is bad. The truth, as always when we're talking about healthy eating, comes down to the sources and types of protein that you are eating, as well as the overall balance of other foods in your diet.
As I've discussed at length before, just because you're "vegan" doesn't mean you're healthy. You can just as easily eat vegan junk food and die an early death as you can when eating a diet containing animal products.
