I am not against meat, but I am pro facts and reading between the lines

Did you know that pork fillets have half the amount of fat as beef fillets? In fact, in a 100g beef tenderloin, there is roughly 25g fat or 50% of your daily recommended fats. In contrast, a 100grams pork fillet has 5-14grams, so if you eat 200g of beef or 400g of pork you will have half the daily limit of food suggested in calories in just 1 food source! Plus an overdose on cholesterol, and dangerous saturated fats, then you are starving your body of vital nutrients received from green vegetables and energy-producing foods.

They can say this because beef fillet is also known as the “tenderloin”… it is towards the arse of the cow, therefore does very little work and is mostly FAT, just like sirloin. Whereas the pork fillet on a pig is in the middle of its back which the pig uses often, therefore, has less fat due to this reason. Ham, ribs and bacon are all parts that are about 4x more fatty, and higher in calories, and are mostly the ones consumed by people, (forks an pork probably not a good idea for long term nutritional needs).

Less fat than snapper fillet, this is true, yet pork has higher calories, higher sodium, less vitamins and minerals… (powerful words in marketing, we all need to be careful in how we interpret “what is being said.” Wild fish has different types of fats as well, plus there is no market for omega pig fat oil, however fish oil/Udo oil (derived from nuts and seeds) are better fats than those found in land animal meats. Try to eat wild fish, as farmed fish are fed things like wheat, cereal grains, hardened into pellets like dog food (when you see grain fed anything, think inflamed and fatty – read a book grain brain) and leaner than skinless chicken breast fillets (leaner also means less fat, they are just rehashing a word)…

Also a valuable source of iron…. compared to what? Only 7% of daily iron in 100g of pork tenderloin… 100g of spinach has 15% of daily iron requirement ! Plus lots of Vitamin A and Vitamin C. Even 100g of dark chocolate has 35% of daily required iron, you just have to watch the calorie and sugar intake. You are better off long term to eat spinach and wash it down with a piece of chocolate than to eat pork/meats if you are wanting to increase your iron intake.

The main reference for this research dates back to a book published back in 1996…. a 20 year old study (1) OMG, when it is recommended to update nutritional information every 5-10 years (2).

This reminds me of Hamish and Andy they are currently wanting to out do the market that is
coconut water, as it is a 100 million dollar industry. So they are joking around and starting to create “corn water,” basically they use the juice found in tinned corn, repackage it and want to sell it as a different type of healthy drink as opposed to coconut water.

They had the nutritional study done, they were told that it has twice as much potassium than a
powerade, half as much sugar as a soft drink, they wanted the fibre in the drink measured, this was not performed, so they marketed it as immeasurable fibre… Does not mean it is good for you!
