I knew 2 women in their 50-60's who stopped eating meat & cheese, they lost a lot of weight & BP got down to normal, so interesting indeed. Hard for me to give up a good steak right now, we buy from local farmer here where I am, stopped buying the super market stuff, same with chicken & all meats, so not sure if your meat consumption was this type or not

Yes, never turned down a good filet in my life until just recently. We buy from a local also. The grain fed beef and pork here is soooo much better than what you get in the super market.

I worked in the meat department of a grocery when I was a kid and the shit they plasipack meat in smells terrible when you open it up to cut it. I mean even for ppl like me that barely have a sense of smell at all it would bout knock you down when you cut open the plastic bags.
Chemicals and preservatives... or poision and preservatives take your pick.

the worst evil is processed foods. if poss eat as much organic as possible and also using the right utensils - no aluminum teflon for cooking
