The biggest issue IMO is .................................cost. Wish it cost less so I could buy more. Like anything else, over consumption of meat isn't the right way to go. There are lots of studies to verify eating less meat does help with health.

Heart problems, cancer risk, bad for environment, to name few.0

As above (but I do not moderate my meat eating!).
Nice to see that our dietary guidelines may change to accommodate sustainability issues. Because, whatever your views may be on environmental sustainability, it surely must be critical to the dietary guidelines for human beings.0 -
Over consumption of meat, much like anything else, brings problem. So I am going to jump to conclusions and assume the average American consumes too much meat, and that is why they are saying to cut it.
That is the only way it would make sense. If you consume meat in moderation, nothing wrong with it.
I want a steak now.0 -
Other than the fact that it's the flesh of dead animals? >_>
*the stereotypical vegetarian chiming in*0 -
For some, they're in denial of what they are. So the fact that something dies in order to have meat, it makes their sparkles a little less sparkly.0 -
nothing..it is freaking delicious contains fat and proteins and goes great with a glass of red wine….
over indulging in anything leads to problems….0 -
Ok I can't say meat is bad I can't say hunting is bad some need to be thinned out. I love the taste and my muscles love the way it effects them. High fat meat needs to be eaten in moderation but that can be said even about sugar. You will hear all kinds of support and views but all things not in moderation are possible causes for health issues. Enjoy life and and food0

I'm a huge animal lover- actually owned a pet health company for a time, but I'm allergic to most legumes. Meat is my best protein source. I live in a rural area and buy from farmers I know. Nothing wrong with that.0

It is delicious but i cut bacín on my meat intake not because some dumb animal its because nutrition meat per calorie meat is very low in nutrients compared to fruits and vegetables0

Absolutely nothing. I eat most kinds of meats. It's good protein and reasonably low in fat if you get the right cut, and has no carbs. It's the perfect thing for me to eat in moderation and pairs well with the high protein, moderate carbohydrate diet prescribed by many of my doctors.0

Buying local from responsible purveyors probably never crossed their minds and the impact that may have on that economy......yeah probably better to get produce from other countries where we have more control over the how's.....makes sense.0

the only problem with meat these days is i don't get to smash enough pork ribs and chicken wings. only worth the calories once every few months.

nothing. just eat smaller portions since steak for example can be up to 900cals for like a 14oz0

I think you need to take in the consideration of where your meat is sourced as well. Pastured beef (aka grass fed and finished) is way better for your health, the environment and the animal itself. If you are concerned about total consumption, grass fed beef has more nutritional value hands down, than nearly every other protein source. Beef from CAFOs is garbage.

is a wretched food snob0 -
Overeating of anything is bad. Red meat, pork, veggies, fruits, fish, water (for Christ's sake) can all be bad if you have too much of one of them without balancing it out.
No surprises there. That article isn't going to change what I'm eating from day to day.0 -
Hormones, Antibiotics, Animal Feed consists of other dead animals (remember mad cow disease?)0
-
Meat and animal products increase cholesterol levels.0

NOT A DAMN THING!!! Meat is just like anything else, you need to keep it in balance with the rest of your diet. If you're worried about additives, eat organic meat or do what I do and learn to hunt for your food. You'll get much healthier food at a fraction of the cost of buying it at the supermarket, plus you won't be supporting the industrialization of meat production.0
