Yeah and the health arguments tend to fall apart when you get into fast-food/highly processed crap territory, which probably accounts for a large portion of meat consumption in the developed world. Eating less of that stuff is probably a good thing.
That said quality meat is a good source of various nutrients and amino acids that can be difficult to get from plant-based sources, and fish in particular can be farmed very sustainably. I would never consider cutting meat out of my diet.
- stephenr 6y ago> fast-food/highly processed crap territory, which probably accounts for a large portion of meat consumption in the developed world A large portion of animal by-products, almost certainly. I doubt that a lot of what fast-food joints use, would be considered "meat" before it was processed. Nobody is asking their local butcher for the Cows eyeballs and asshole.
- gowld 6y agoHow many cow anuses would it take to make McDonalds meat? more than cow anuses exist in the world, I bet. McDonalds' is made of meat, just processed into a highly manageable consistent form.

- matheusmoreira 6y agoIs it a fact that major fast food chains use this kind of processed meat? How do I avoid eating this? Primal cuts of meat are fine, right?
- stephenr 6y agoThis process happens after the primal cuts are removed. I guess it's basically the modern "industrialised" alternative to the more traditional use of the carcass after those cuts are removed, which would be to break it down and boil them to make stock. McDonalds Chicken Nuggets used to be made of this. Apparently they are no longer using it.
