Red meat isn’t poison, and it’s not a superfood. It’s a tool. Eat it sparingly, choose quality cuts when you can, and for goodness’ sake, don’t pair it with a liter of soda and call it health.
If you’re worried about the planet or your arteries, swap in a few plant-based meals a week. But if you’re a carnivore at heart, go ahead and sear that steak with garlic butter. Your ancestors did it with spears and no WiFi.
Just remember: moderation is the key. And don’t lie to your doctor about how much bacon you ate. They’ve heard it all—including the excuse that “it was a really, really small pig.”
