The Six Biggest Lies About Eating Meat:
Foodies of all kinds are bad for your health. Vegans are only slightly more extreme than most.
Have you heard that they've decided that cholesterol in the diet is OK? Yes, all recommendations for restricting dietary cholesterol have been rescinded. All those egg white omelets you ate did you no good at all, at least in terms of reducing your blood cholesterol. Hypercholesterolemia is a problem of metabolic regulation, not a dietary problem. If your cholesterol is high take a statin and don't worry about cholesterol in your diet.
If there's one macronutrient you can't overdo, it's protein. And if there's one type of protein you can't go wrong with, it's meat. Because despite what your vegan hipster coworker keeps telling you, animal protein is the best food for building and maintaining muscle, and it's required for a long and healthy life. But what about all those studies vegans like to quote showing that meat is "bad?" Let's take a closer look.
