Interesting. Maybe the new rule should be "Eat red meat if you want, just don't let it make you fat".

Isn't it more "eat red meat if you want, just don't BE fat?"

I mean a person can eat a hamburger a day and still be thin, in my experience it's the fries, coke, twinkies and pop tarts and stuff that make you fat.

If you eat almost exclusively red meat, and not the things that commonly go with it, it’s quite hard to get fat. Meat is very very satiating.

Eat some sardines and cod liver too for vitamin D. Scurvy doesn’t occur, fresh meat contains vitamin C, about 10-15mg per lb.

Yeah, but there's also gout.

Eating meat does not seem to cause gout, fructose and ethanol seem to be the big players.
