The Truth about Red Meat

When the actor John Wayne died, an autopsy revealed that his intestines had grown to 12″ (30 cms) in diameter with only a small opening in the middle to allow the digestive process to painfully carry on.

“The average American & European intestine carries within it over 5 pounds of putrid, half digested red meat, plus another 5-10 pounds of foul toxic mucous waste impacted of years in the folds of the colon and small intestines.”

What else is in the meat I eat?

This is one of the problems. Nowadays, the meat that you buy contains a lot of chemicals that you end up eating when you consume your favourite dish:

Sex hormones such as androgens, progestogens and estrogens to promote faster growth. The long term effects associated with the consumption of these are:

Obesity, infertility, diabetes, dwarfism, gigantism, kidney disease, hypertension, precocious puberty, hypoglycaemia, masculinisation of females, feminisation of males and cancer.

Where will I get my protein?

First, we must learn that we do not just absorb protein from meat. In order for our body to create protein from meat, it must first break the animal protein down into amino acids and then manufacture human protein with these. This procedure is very tiring on the body and extremely inefficient.

Rats need up to eleven times as much protein as we need in our diet as is illustrated by analysing rat mother’s milk. So relax, you are not going to die from a lack of protein if you stop eating meat.

If you are still worried about your protein intake, the following food has a high content of easily absorbed amino acid suitable for the production of human protein: Peas, lentils, chick peas, kidney beans, fish, tofu, green grapes, iceberg lettuce, collards and kale.

So next time, don’t go to Mcdonald’s, or at least order a salad.

    Uh, a quick look around at some websites that actually do and cite their research indicates that the whole John Wayne thing and the whole “X pounds of undigested meat in the intestines” thing are just urban legends.

    The latter was actually propagated mostly because people watching Beverly Hills Cop couldn’t recognize a joke when they saw it, and took a scene from the movie to heart. (TIP, KIDS: DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE CHARACTERS IN A MOVIE READING IN A MAGAZINE.)

    That’s not to say Americans in particular couldn’t stand to tone down their meat consumption by about a pound a week on average, but that’d be for reasons completely separate from scare tactics employed by holistic “health” advocates.

    Be seeing you! o`
