I am a steak lover! =D I love to eat steak very much! But i do control myself not to eat too much. My friend use to tell me that if i live in the western countries, then i can eat steak all the time. ^^ How about you? Do you like to eat steak? I know many people are very health conscious nowadays. They prefer to eat white meat especially fish, because fish has more protein and less fats. Although precisely, white meat depends largely on culture, time and location, but it is commonly agreed that white meat consists of meats like rabbit and chicken; while red meat mostly comes from the flesh of big mammals like mutton and beef. Even goose and duck can also be classified as red meat. There are pros and cons between white meat and red meat. White meat is best known as meat that is lean, compared to red meat. Best point of white meat is that its fat content is less than that of red meat. Meats traditionally thought of as white (like veal and lamb) have been reclassified as red meat. Another plus point of white meat over red meat is the lower number of calories that it contains. Eating red meat has been discouraged because many cuts are high in cholesterol and saturated fat. However, red meat has a place in a healthy diet as long as you choose the right cuts of beef and opt for leaner ground beef. Adding one or two servings of fresh or organic lean red meat to your weekly diet will supply your body with many vital nutrients. Benefits of red meat that white meat simply lacks, for example, are nutrients zinc, iron, thiamine and riboflavin (apart from vitamin B12 and B6) appears in much greater abundance in red meat. So, if you are a red meat lover, choose lean red meat as it fits into a heart-healthy diet. =) Enjoy food and take care of health!
