red meat and the assumption that it is loaded with sat. fat

I've eaten 39 oz. of red meat in the last 3 days and my sat. fat daily totals are 17, 22, and 17(so far, likely 22-25 total for today) for the days.

Why do the 2 automatically get associated any time diet is discussed?

They don't have to be directly correlated.

Just a pet peeve of mine when seeing red meat discussed in health articles.

    I guess they are thinking the only red meat is a big juicy ribeye steak. That'll get your saturated fat up there quick. I agree though, the two do not need to be put together.
