I don't deny I'm a beef eater although I eat it only occasionally. I wish I could stop eating it...but...I don't have the will power my vegan son has.
Nevertheless, every time I eat beef, I think about the chicken manure, chicken feathers, antibiotics, and cow parts (cyclical because of cow parts being made into chicken feed that chickens eat and then are returned to cows via chicken litter) that are now used to create feed that cows are fed. I know I'm risking mad cow disease with every bite because cow eating cow increases my risk...and yours.
My question to beef eaters...are we healthier eaters than vegans and vegetarians? To those who think so...you need to do your research.
Boy howdy!

Whenever I look at large-scale population studies where they make comparisons between vegans and those who eat animal protein, the vegans always show up as being healthier. There's no question about it.
Now that I know what I know, from my extensive reading, I'm not willing to take the risk of eating animal protein. If I eat out once or twice per month, I will have a little turkey or fish but that's about it. I never bring any of that home from the supermarket. And I never bring home any processed foods either.
Thanks for your post. It serves as a good reminder of all that goes on to make meat eating all the more risky.
