Meat is not healthy? Can you develop that or recommend a documentary? What about B12, do I have to eat lots of seaweed (fucking ew)?
It's pretty widely known that meat, dairy and eggs contribute to our biggest diseases like cancer, diabetes, atherosclerosis, stroke etc.
More plants and is the best way to keep healthy, the longest living societies eat the most plants, the 7 day adventists, the okinawans (before western intervention)
B12 supplements are actually given to livestock animals so you're basically taking supplements, just in a less direct way lol.
So, you're a vegan or pescatarian?
No, meat makes up about 5% of my diet.
Eskimos lived on a traditionally 100% animal diet. Most likely our ancestors did too for 6 months of the year. When Weston Price looked at the Eskimos they had basically no heart disease.
That's because they died in their 30s and 40s, they also suffered from strokes and osteoporosis. The Eskimos were not a healthy civilization or a successful one either.
The okinawans and whatever of these groups pointed towards all eat meat in proper proportions. That is the key. If you study holistic medicine like TCM, you will come to understand that red meat has the properties of: blood building, heating, fatty and stagnating. This means it is very nourishing, but must be taken in small amounts and balanced with cooling foods like vegetables. This prevents any stagnation diseases like cancer and diabetes, or heat diseases like inflammation and high blood pressure.
Chicken is neutral, fish is neutral, with some cooling and few heating. This is why they are seen as "better" choices.
