So anyway, nice guys.

I don't want to bad mouth them.

People are free to do whatever they want.

But I can tell you that the people who actually make it into their 80s or 90s or 100s at the population level...

and don't have chronic disease are not eating much red meat at all.

We've been here before with the meat craze.

There was something called the Atkins diet when I was young, which essentially gave everybody permission to eat bacon and pork and meat, lots of meat.

Well, Atkins, the great evangelist, dropped dead at age 68 of a heart attack.

So this is a guy we're supposed to listen to.

You know, meat tastes good.

And if you're on a starvation diet like most of human history, you know, we evolved in an environment of hardship and scarcity.

And yes, if you killed an animal,

You had a big meat feed.

You needed those calories.

You needed the protein.

But we live in an environment where for every man, woman, and children in America, there are 4,200 calories floating around every single day.

And marketers are dying to get us to buy and consume those calories.

We only need 2,200 calories.

So add on top of that the calorically dense, saturated fat-laden meat, and no, it's not a good idea.

If you look at the CDC, the Center for Disease Control, you'll see that the average American consumes between two and two and a half times more protein than they need.
