Red Meat

When I was younger I noticed that a friend of mine wasn’t eating red meat. He ate fish, chicken, and lots of vegetables, but never red meat. So I confronted him with his oddity, and he came back with: ‘red meat rots the brain’. I scoffed. Science for the insane. Red meat tastes good buddy, hop on the burger train.

However, reminded of this later in life, I am beginning to wonder if he wasn’t on to something. I certainly notice when I’ve had a sausage or a burger that I feel much more sluggish than normal, and when I eat fresh fruit and veg I feel more alert and energised. So I’ve decided to give this theory a go, and see if my rotting brain comes back to life.
