Meat is healthy
We are constantly told to 'eat less meat' for the good of our health and the planet. Both these ideas are wrong. Our species evolved into the people we are today because our ancestors ate the meat and fat of animals they caught and they did so for over a million years. We did not evolve to eat meat; we evolved because we ate meat. Animal foods are the most nutrient-dense foods we can consume. The information on this website will demonstrate that physical and mental health are enhanced by the regular consumption of these foods. We are carnivorous people; we are not herbivores.
There is an obesity crisis. We are told that 33% of us have a BMI between 25 and 30 and a further 25% have a BMI over 30. We all know this is bad but what does it mean? If we assume the overweight are 2 stone too heavy and the obese are carrying 5 stone too much and there are 65 million people in the country, it means the population of the UK is 2,000 million pounds overweight. This is a health crisis which gets no attention from the Chief Medical Officer. Losing weight is easier than most people think, but to do so we need to eat the opposite of what were are told to eat.
We are constantly told what to do by the self-appointed custodians of our lives. In 1983 the 'experts' told us to follow the National Dietary Guidelines and eat a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet. This advice created the obesity epidemic and the surge in type 2 diabetes. In 2019, a tiny group of 'experts' told us all to eat a plant-based diet to save our health and the planet. They ignored the fact that animal foods are essential for brain development. This advice will be equally disastrous if we are dumb enough to be fooled again.
