It’s Not the Cow, It’s The How!
That's why ranchers raising 100% #grassfed#beef are part of the solution. Grasslands are shrinking, and the cattle who graze them are critical in the fight against #climatechange.
Switch to 100% grassfed beef. Buy some today at @LCGrassfed.
You know that special feeling of eating something that’s hitting all your taste buds, but you can tell is nourishing and good for you at the same time? It turns out that flavor and nutrition are connected! #realburgerofearthday

Silvopasture is a regenerative practice we don't talk about enough. Here's a great article from the Noble Research Institute about getting started with soil health principles firmly in mind.

I reviewed the latest red meat & T2D paper.
I found 14 issues.
Some are common to all population studies.
Many were unique to this study.
Peer-review should have challenged this paper for issues 6, 7, 9, 10 & 11, if not more.
1) the inaccuracy of Food Frequency Questionnaires.
2) the reported intakes were ‘calibrated’, which increased risk ratios.
3) the definition of red meat included sandwiches and lasagne.
4) the serving sizes have changed since the original FFQs.
5) the intakes used to compare people have become more extreme.
6) the study claimed that women consume more red meat than men; that would be a first.
7) total red meat was claimed to have a higher risk than both processed red meat and unprocessed red meat. Total red meat is the sum of the other two. It can’t be worse than both.
8) the healthy person confounder. The red meat eater had a higher BMI and was more likely to smoke and less likely to exercise. We can’t adjust for a completely different person.
9) the reported calorie intake was absurd.
10) the characteristics table reported all food intake except the relevant ones – sugar and grains.
11) the headline claims did not adjust for the higher BMI.
12) even if there were no issues 1-11, the study could only suggest association not causation.
13) the relative risk numbers grabbed the headlines; the absolute risk differences were a fraction of one per cent.
14) the plausible mechanisms proposed applied far more sensibly to the bun, fries and fizzy drink (which were ignored) than to the burger.
