Eggs got the bad cholesterol rap. But the big thing is price. Beef got more expensive, fish, pork, turkey stayed the same, veal is always hard to find and expensive, but chicken got much cheaper. I think you will find that adjust for inflation it is the price of beef versus chicken that is the factor.

I happen to believe whole natural foods have been the source of nutrition longer than Rainbow putting iron in the bread. Also it would seem cows, chicken, lamb, pork and other meats have been the balance of protein. Make the choice - 50 years of factory farms or organic pasture feed meat and eggs for the past 1o,ooo. You make the call.

I find beef more acidic than other meats for some reason it bothers my arthrites. I still eat it on ocasion and still like it I have learned that if I tacke lemon juice or organic vinegar it takes away the acid. But I would rather have fish, chicken, or turkey, lamb than beef, Eggs are good for breakfast. I want the bone in the meat though I always thought that was a sorce of minerals that our body needs. Strange how times change. I also like the new organic eggs they just tast better
Iike oregano on eggs and an omlet that is supper good...

I guess that we eat less meat these days, but what we eat has to be organic! We eat more wild fish and organic eggs. Nowadays, the thought of battery chickens, farmed fish and grain fed beef is decidedly off putting.

longevity is obtained more readily on a plant based diet. look at the stats world wide, less coronary, colon cancer, diebetics, etc. etc.

we changed and have not been sick or on meds for over 40 years, so i'll never change and smart people are finding out that health can be obtained ,if carfefully selecting, a well balanced diet, with out all the fats, toxins, and lack of fiber

I eat grass fed beef at least 5 days per week.

Love it.

Weve changed from eating alot of main stream red meat in 2000 to assorted flash frozen fish 3/4 days a week and the balance in chicken.. 2X a month Beef, 1x a month pork.. All must be grass fed free range, antibiotic hormone and pesticide free.

Theonly thing that's changed is the sheeple are dumber than ever thanks to free gov't schools. Does anyone think this is unintentional? All meat is not the same, all fat is not the same, all dairy is not the same. If you are waiting for the gov/industry to tell the truth, you;ll wait a long time. Even the health food store: nothing but "low fat" as far as the eye can see. Andthe sheeple have heeded this message and they are all obese! And they don't know why! Don't eat cholesterol! Why? so they can sell statins and bypasses!

Stopped eating fish and seafood a few years back over mercury and lead concerns. Lately have been eating less meat of all kinds except poultry, which I have at least once a week.

I think Bill's on to something. It's really all about where the food comes from. We've eaten animals pretty much forever, but not ones stuffed with genetically modified corn and soy. Bacteria (among other things) is altered in these animals so it is altered in those who eat them. It's ironic that we're told to eat less saturated fat, but our conventionally raised beef is loaded with it compared to grass raised. And no omega-3s, but tons of omega-6's. More traditional cultures cook their grass raised meats long and slowly, enjoying parts like organ meats (even intestines!) along with muscle, but not necessarily tossing the steaks on a grill. Bone marrow is one of the most nutritious parts of a grass fed animal. For some reason, we've lost our hindsight and have no foresight. But I guess that's not where the money is.

I agree with those who say it's not the meat that's bad for us, it's what the animals are fed these days, same as farmed fish. When you change the food, you change the biology of the animal, and then the proteins, fats etc. are not what our bodies need to thrive.
I also wish it was necessary for meat processors and retailers to inform customers of anything they use on the meat, (someone just told me they bought chicken from Costco that had been coated with an "antibacterial" whatever that might mean) or any physical process they put it through. Then we could at least make more informed choices, which is very important to me.

My senior parents' doctor was concerned about B-complex, calcium and protein in their diet. I had mentioned that I was a total vegetarian for almost 10 years, and was at peak of health during that time. He felt it was not advisable for them, so we are orienting to the Mediterranean lifestyle (not really a diet) with some Pleistocene (and, yes, oriental) influence. He recommended a local business that sold range products. It costs more per pound for much of it, but we are using it now as an ingredient rather than the focus of the meal (another oriental concept). We eat eggs both as a meal or ingredient. They have a lot of nutrients. Our cholesterol seems to be affected more by poor fats and pure sugars than by the cholesterol in eggs. Besides, once again there is too much controversy, so we choose to do it "our" way.
I am much more concerned about the carcinogens such as nitrites, msg, hydrogenated or "modified" and other additives and GM junk that sneak into prepared foods. We avoid smoked or processed meats, and if I even suspect the item is hardcore GM, I won't buy it. If the FDA approves non-labeling and tries to take my choice away, I will start raising my own food with heirloom seeds (in my "spare" time. Ha.) They seem to forget lack of genetic diversity caused the Irish potato famine.
I needed easily prepared food, with the other responsibilities, and discovered the joy of quinoa and/or baked brown rice in organic chicken broth (also make my own veg. broth), which goes with everything. I make side dishes (adding browned onion, garlic and vegs as available), casseroles, soups, and stews with high protein organic meat augmented with brown rice and the best natural vegetables I can afford.
Can you believe it? They like it! Seniors don't eat as much, so the concentration of nutrition plus selected supplements seems to be doing the job. They are in their 90s and still independent.

This chart is very interesting and show we listen to the reports on what to eat to keep us healthy... However, beef is very good for you! Grass fed beef is the way to go with so many health benefits! Omega -6 EFA and doesn't have harmful steroids. Not to mention the iron and how vital that is to your body. I have founds some delicious and healthy beef... Even though I work with them I have to say if you are looking for healthy grass fed beef - Look no further =CONCATENATE("",E65,"")
