What advantage does white meat have over red meat? Is it better than red meat?
I believe white meat is better – less fat, less cholesterol. But honestly I don’t care. Eating any kind of meat is bad for the animal you’ve killed, or paid someone else to kill for you. I choose not to kill animals for food and for that reason I haven’t eaten any animals or animal products for many years. We don’t need to eat animal products – it’s perfectly easy, healthy and tasty to eat only plant foods. It’s better for us, for the animals, and for the environment.
The biggest difference between the two is fat content. White meat is a leaner source of protein, with a lower fat content. Red meat contains higher levels of fat, but also contains higher levels of vitamins like iron, zinc and B vitamins. The iron present in red meat is a type called heme iron, which produces compounds that can damage cells, leading to cancer. Although it may contain more vitamins and minerals, high consumption of red meat has been correlated with increased incidence of certain cancers, specifically colorectal cancer . I would also suggest you to reduce meat in your diet. It will help the environment.
