Red Meat is Not So Bad For You
Each day millions of humans fire up the backyard barbecue to grill up steaks, burgers and racks of lamb. Yum! Has there ever been an aroma more intoxicating than red meat sizzling over an open flame?
Wouldn’t you know it though, the Health Police have entered the picture. These nefarious kill-joys have planted newspaper stories citing alleged studies that would have you believe red meat is bad for you. I’m no meat scientist but from all the evidence I’ve seen, the exact opposite is true! Let’s debunk some of the myths concerning eating red meat.
Myth: RED MEAT RAISES YOUR CHOLESTEROL
Some medicines raise your cholesterol too. Is anybody suggesting we ban medicine? Not eating red meat because it raises your cholesterol is as silly as not taking medicine because it doesn’t taste like steak.
Myth: WHITE MEATS ARE BETTER FOR YOU
How racist! One type of meat is superior to another? Do you really want to be the guy making that argument? Think about this one long and hard before you repeat it again.
Myth: RED MEAT IS BAD FOR YOUR HEART
Denying yourself something you want causes stress, correct? Isn’t stress bad for your heart also? When you eat red meat at least you’re in control.
Myth: COMPARED TO COWS, CHICKENS ARE LESS OF A HASSLE
Capturing non-red meats can be dangerous. Chickens are fast. Chasing one around a yard could easily result in slipping and a sprained ankle. Slaughtering a pig, the other white meat, can be even more dangerous. Why risk a crippling fall in mud when cows are so mush easier to capture?
Play it safe. Skip white meat and go for the better tasting, healthier red stuff. You’ll be happy you did.

Marge, that’s the most complicated bunch of reasons I’ve seen for persuading people to eat red meat rather than white! But you miss the point! ALL meat is bad! Meat contains teeny, tiny little nanomolecules that infest the body and cause apathy, stupidity, drooling, mumbling, misplaced anger, cerebral shrinkage, bad judgment, Tourette’s Syndrome, tardive dyskinesia, and very bad breath. If you don’t want these terrible things, stop eating meat!
All meat is BAD!
Do NOT eat meat of ANY kind!
And what’s more, it smells bad!
Lucyy is a famous scientist. Better believe her!
Wait a minute… aren’t cats white meat?
I also think that Lucyy is mistaken, those are clinical symptoms of watching tv.
Meeshka, have you been eating meat again? I told you not to! See what it does to your thinking?
