Honestly? For the average person, “red meat” is just a label. What matters is how often you eat it, how much fat is on it, and if the cow had a decent life before you took a bite. A grass-fed, lean steak is not the same as a processed hot dog. But both are red meat.
So next time someone tells you to cut out red meat, ask them: “Do you mean all mammals, or just the ones that scare you?” Watch them fumble. And smile, because now you know the secret. It’s about oxygen, marketing, and a little bit of bacon.
Now go eat something tasty. You’ve earned it. And maybe say hi to a butcher for me—they’ve heard it all before.
