The Power of Red Meat

I don't know anout you but eating red meat makes me feel great. Probably not so much for all those vegetarians out there (don't run away just yet). True, it is an excellent source of protien and energy but also provides us with about 35% of our daily fat intake (100-130g for Australians). Nutritionists believe that to avoid a number of major diseases such as diabetes, obesity, some cancers, hypertension or heart disease, we should lessen our fat consumption by approximately 25 per cent. (CSIRO)

I am not saying don't eat it, just be sure to eat in moderation and trim the fat and grissle off regardless of how yummy it tastes. Lean meat is good and helps you avoid the major diseases :)

I find buying food rib eye Wagyu and cutting it to the thickness I want and trimming as much fat as I want is much more preferable and worth the great tasting reward.
