We’re often told that eliminating red meat is essential for our health and the environment, with beef portrayed as the most harmful meat. However, science presents a different perspective. In this exploration, registered dietitian Diana Rodgers and biochemist Robb Wolf challenge the prevailing narrative about meat, particularly focusing on cattle. They examine the assumptions and misinformation surrounding meat consumption and the food system, revealing that plant-based agriculture is not a flawless alternative. Key insights include the necessity of meat and animal fat for our health, the role of animals in a sustainable food system, and the potential environmental impact of a vegan diet compared to sustainable cattle farming. They argue that regenerative cattle ranching can be a significant tool in combating climate change. The authors provide practical advice for supporting sustainable farms and a 30-day challenge to adopt a more healthful diet. With a blend of scientific rigor and compassion, they assert that responsibly sourced meat deserves a place in our diets. It’s not the COW, it’s the HOW!
