But why do you condemn saturated fat? With what you know about everything else, havent you researched saturated fat and why it is NOT unhealthy? I think its nothing to do with the reason meat is bad, It's the modernization (grain/soy fed, sterioids, homrones, antibiotics, omega6). Excellent article. But why do you condemn saturated fat? With what you know about everything else, havent you researched saturated fat and why it is NOT unhealthy? I think its nothing to do with the reason meat is bad, It’s the modernization (grain/soy fed, sterioids, homrones, antibiotics, omega6).

For people with northern ancestry in the 40 to 60 degree range this would appear to be 40% animal protein and 30% fats, with 30% plant based carbohydrates etc from fruits, vegetables, and very little grains. The Omega 6:3 ratio appears most important and should be less than 4:1, not the obesity, inflammatory disease causing reputed current average of 20:1. The healthy ratios can only be obtained by eating ruminant prey animals and/or wild cold water fish, with green leafies such as cabbage, other brassicas, peas, carrots etc. Therefore the healthiest mainstay modern diet is fundamentally boiled beef and Cabbage. These ancient wisdom's are now being corroborated by science and human trials around the world to eat lean beef daily. Unfortunately it will probably take another 40 years to reverse the brain washing of the past 40 re grain/corn/oilseeds, derived diets including the modern main derivative of so-called healthy white meats. Put some beef in it and eat your veggies advice of history is still best today.

Conscious eating seems to be a rarity even among folks who claim to want to eat healthily and have the means to do so. In my home 1/2 would choose chips and dip over apples and almond butter and they have the knowledge. Well put Jaladrian.

I certainly agree that it's not always possible to avoid what may be deemed as unhealthy, inflammatory foods all the time. Trying to make the most appropriate food choices based on the limited budget we have also poses a great challenge for many of us. And yes, trade-offs are sometimes inevitable. At the other spectrum, there should also be a willingness to take up the challenge to eat healthily and make tough choices, instead of simply brushing it off as a too difficult or impossible endeavor. Not all healthy foods are beyond reach. Choosing more whole foods over highly processed ones doesn't necessarily mean higher costs, for instance, and sometimes can even help to stretch the dollars.

It is the art of the trade-off, nutrient requirements vs. availability. We have been forced to become hunter/gatherers again is a vastly different jungle. Look with intent for the best you can get for the money, and be kind to yourself. I find the thing is to be conscious rather than rigid.

Simply put, pasture fattened beef is the healthiest, most nutrient dense food concentrated by nature. We are what we eat and if the pasture is fertile and healthy due to the carbon sequestration/ recycling of the cloven hoof and the resulting beef is seasonal fat it cannot get better. I only responded to this article because partial truths lead to terrible unjust perceptions now causing ills such as you and others describe unless we get back to working with nature. I can only apologize for my, perhaps old fashioned language meant for clarity. This is the reason I provided links in my last response so you can research for yourself the conclusions of many experts and connect the simple threads of evidence that even some of the experts fail to see and realize. It is your health and at the end of the day the individuals responsibility. Good luck with your eating. Hi Ciamia,
