Red Meat May Spell Early Death

March 25, 2009 | ISSUE 45•13

A federal study revealed that middle-aged Americans who ate red meat at least once a day were 30 percent more likely to die during the 10 years researchers followed them. What do you think?

This research may actually push Americans to adopt new habits, such as calling red meat something else.

Yeah, but what if you eat red meat three or more times a day? Really? Oh boy.

Peter Rothbart

If I lived my life by everything studies told me, I'd have given up drinking used motor oil years ago.
