Back before epidemic diabetes, Alzheimer's and other metabolic disorders, fat had a prominent place in the healthy human diet.
To me, beef is superior because it can be more safely consumed closer to its natural state -raw- than poultry. Sourcing and cut factors, though.
I am not saying that there is any cause/effect here, but at that time, the average person did physical work. the life expectancy was also 10-15 years less.
Recent research has been showing that fat in the diet is NOT the culprit it has been said to be.
In other terms, we have greatly addressed mortality factors that suppress lifespan and health. Should we had held onto to more traditional lifestyles and diets, we'd be much better off. IMO
you won't need to worry about any of this crap and you can eat what you want.
Better for you than even white meat turkey!
This morning at dawn I went out on the trails for a 3.3 miler, then went to the doctor to follow up on antibiotics for a minor dog bite I got. Pulse was 62 after walking to the exam room and my BP was 122/72.
When I got home, I drove :20 up the Mount Rose Hwy and hiked three miles with a 45 lb pack @ 8,800.'
Tomorrow I'll take the dog out for a 1.5 miler at the break of day, then go play golf, walking 6.5 miles on a hilly course while carrying my clubs.
I turn 68 in three weeks.
elkmtngear,
Nice pic!
How long is that walk when you are playing the course not just walking it? ;-)

That mileage IS from when I play the course. The two courses are in a big housing development and there is a bit over Two MILES just from greens to tees on both courses.
I do all of the cooking for us and most our dinners are wild game in one recipe or another, fish once a week, and once or twice a month, chicken and lean pork loin.
BTW, I have been a diabetic since I was 30 years old and taking four shots of insulin a day. I go to a nurse practitioner once a year to get my prescriptions filled out. My last blood pressure was 128/70. About the same that my eye doctor got when she checked me a while ago. I don't have a doctor. Woman nurse practitioner and woman eye doctor.
