Misinformation and Misperceptions About Meat

I wholeheartedly applaud anyone who is attempting to make positive changes in their lives for the betterment of themselves and our world. I am also not in any sense “pro-meat”. As I said to someone on an Internet forum recently, if I am to be called anything it would be pro-balance.

In the end the ultimate purpose of this article is to present you with some information you may not be aware of. I ask that you please set aside for a moment any emotional investment your ego might have in your ideas regarding meat. Holding onto beliefs in the face of information you may not have previously been aware of is dogmatic. If this describes you, then unfortunately, this article may not be for you, quite simply because you’ve checked your intelligence at the door. In this article I’m far from asking you to agree with what I have to say. All I ask is that you be prepared to consider the information with an open mind.

Talk the Talk, Walk the Walk

I refuse to take advice regarding health and fitness from a doctor or nutritionist who are themselves unhealthy or overweight. Sick people cannot help other sick people get well. So, just as I would not take advice from an unhealthy and overweight person, I don’t expect you to either. To that end today I my girlfriend took some photos of me while I played with my kettlebells. This way you can see the product of my knowledge and experience despite the hands life has dealt me.
