I myself am a victim of the modern diet, and lack of exercise. I almost died of high cholesterol and other related factors, before I started to eat better and be physically active.

I’m a firm believer in a varied diet, and that most people should have a less meaty intake.

Just, we are designed to be hunters and eat red meat

My parents fed me red meat for almost every dinner I can recall growing up. I’m early 30s and my cholesterol is very high. I was able to drop my cholesterol significantly in one month by changing my diet to mostly vegan with chicken and fish once or twice a week. Switched my morning eggs out to egg whites. Cooked in avocado oil instead of butter.

I tend to eat very little red meat now, maybe once a month. I used to eat it every day
