    how desirable or perceptibly necessary meat really

    Oh boy.

    Every damn study we have, plus at least 800.000 years of human evolution cooking over fire:

    • we should eat everything in moderation, balanced diet is a varied diet.

    That concludes any and all ted talks on should we eat animal products for health.

    Now, the question then is: okay, then how much meat should I eat: about 300 gram* once or twice a week seems like the sweet spot. A little more if recovering from injuries. A little more if you’re growing up. A little more in old age if you notice you’re losing weight.

    Source: idk, all the damn studies we make on large populations, e.g. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2803089/

    (*) Varied meat. Includes offal. White and red.
