First of all, the protein requirement is not nearly as high as people imagine. The average person needs about 25 to 30 grams of protein a day. You can get plenty of proteins for a healthy body from beans, whole grains, brown rice, and many vegetables and even fruit. If you want to eat some animal protein, try some fish and lean chicken or turkey. And of course, free range animals are the best.
Red meat has very little fiber.
It stays in your intestines so long that it actually causes toxemia because of decay that takes place inside of you. Another problem is that animals raised for rood are raised very badly with lots of antibiotics. There is some movement underway in Europe to outlaw the heavy use of antibiotics in animals. For that reason, too, I try to buy some free-range chickens that have been raised in a natural manner. Once other reason why I hold down my protein intake from animals is because there is some evidence that too much animal protein in our system actually leads to a loss of calcium from the body and you know what leads to - osteoporosis.
