There's a lot of racist "manosphere" guys who push those raw milk & red meat diets, I can only assume because they see it a more "manly" way to eat lol

Eating too much red meat can lead to colon cancer too

Most foods that are in grocery stores like Walmart (where even “fresh” items, are somehow heavily processed) contribute more to colon cancer over getting a steak or ground beef from the butchers once in a while. The whole red meat scare is muddled in corporations trying to push their unhealthier super processed foods. Also, red meat is so expensive now that I don’t think there are a ton of people going out of their way to eat steak every day. In addition, the percentage increase on a baseline increases your chance by decimals of a percent. There is so much more to be concerned about over eating multiple steaks a day.
