The following Mark's Daily Apple article was written by Mark Sisson,

Ten ways to optimize your meat consumption.

In many ways, the primal blueprint developed and grew as a response to the ridiculous overreach

of conventional wisdom.

I only started looking for new ways to eat and train after doing everything right ruined me.

All that nonsense about saturated fat and cholesterol clogging your arteries, carbohydrates being

required for energy, healthy whole grains offering nutrients you couldn't get anywhere else,

and lifelong protection from disease was so odious and obviously incorrect that it drove

tens of thousands of people into the waiting maw of MDA. Perhaps the biggest piece of faulty conventional wisdom is the supposed lethal danger of meat.

When you feel great eating meat every day, when a rare steak seems to improve your performance

in the gym, when you tried going vegetarian for that hot vegan girl one time and ended up gaining

Just because conventional wisdom got animal flesh wrong doesn't mean there aren't better and worse ways to eat it.

Just as I'd say with any otherwise healthy food, cheese, almonds, broccoli, spinach, eggs, sweet potatoes, there are limits

to healthy consumption.

Or its red meat causing increased TMAO production, spurring heart disease.
