Show Notes
Beyond the Headlines, Stereotypes & Dogma: Meat Intake & Recommendations The public health mantra is often "cut back on beef for health" yet most Americans view beef as "nutritious" when part of a balanced diet. Media headlines often stereotype beef as huge steaks and gooey cheeseburgers – but is that portrayal accurate when it comes to the cuts of meat at the grocery store and the most common ways people consume meat on a regular basis? As the plant-based trend continues to grow, are consumers looking to replace meat in the diet with plant proteins or can meat and plants coexist in a healthful way on our plates?
