I was having dinner with my father and step-mum. They had bought some sausages at Whole Foods. My step-mum doesn't eat meat usually (she views it as unhealthy for a variety of reasons), but they were both exclaiming how much they liked these better than the other commercial kinds they've had, primarily because they're not fatty.
I've always been under the impression that fat and meat is good for you (a reason why my step-mum and I have issue with each other), but rather how the animal is raised and how its processed is the reason its not. That bones and fat are important to the diet, not just muscle.
I fight a lot with my step-mum on health issues. She says that red meat is bad for you (and so there's almost no meat in the house, ever, and being a large carnivore, I have issue finding meals), when meat is obviously not 'bad,' but more how we treat it. (I don't entirely understand how she is alive--she primarily eats heavy grain breads or pastas, applesauce, lettuce, several cups of coffee a day, and peanut butter.)
