is it healthier to eat no meat?

Well, fish would be good..if eating a fish wasn't equivalent to drinking a months worth of contaminated water.

The only food that affects your health in a perfectly reliable manner is no food.

Got to die of something.

And living without steak doesn’t actually make death move farther away,  it just makes death seem agonizingly far away.

Hi all, hope you are all doing good these days. I have had a few people in a cooking forum I am a part of tell me its healthier to eat no meat with healthy food having a plant based food regimen while most of them were saying you need meat with healthy foods witch is healthier then having no meat at all.

They told me that I could live longer if I didn't eat bacon. I asked why I would want to.

You are an omnivore that is made of meat. As a result, eating some meat is healthy for you. Eating too much meat is bad and  will probably shorten your life. Eating no meat is tricky as you can develop a variety of nutrient deficiencies, so you have to be much more careful about getting a balanced diet. This is doubly true if you're prone to certain deficiencies to begin with.

Overall, general lifestyle is more important. If you eat like you're working on a farm but sit behind a desk all day it'll end poorly regardless of what exactly you're eating.

I prefer to eat what is heathier either way so witch one is it if anyone here knows? Also a exersize site I am a member of said its healthier to eat no meat and that you can still acheive the gains you want with no meat so that makes me think there may be something to it. Also years ago on the aint no god forum(the owner was steve rider) that I was a member of, I think if i remember right I made a thread about this or something similar and someone told me about this man proffeshional body builder who apperently proved or showed that you don't need meat to be healthy or look muscular. He made a book about it and that made him famous. I dont recall his name.

It is healthier to eat no red meat as heme iron is found almost exclusively in red meat. Heme iron is widely agreed to be causing colon cancer, and there is quite a bit of evidence that it somehow causes breast cancer as well.

A vegetarian diet is also less likely to be too high in saturated fat and less likely to be deficient in vitamin K, although it goes without saying that it doesn't have to be (some vegetarians eat a lot of coconut-based products, which are very high in saturated fat).

Bold mine - where do you get this information?  My breast cancer doctor is a researcher as well.  She didn't ever mention the consumption of meat during the five years that I saw her.

A 2019 review found that heme iron intake is associated with increased breast cancer risk.

He speaks with some very weird accent, and there are no subtitles. Can you explain me what you think from his speech is relevant here?

I've got an idea for a new country song. "Sirloin makes her tits fall off" - we could get joe nichols.
