[ExI] Pink Slime

[Kryonica]

In fact they say this morning that the "bad" red meat is pork, beef and lamb and does not include game, which seems to be consistent with a paleo pre-agricultural diet.  However they also advocate for pulses and beans, and to go vegetarian at least one day a week, which is not paleo.

For instance, carbos disrupt self-regulation in fat assumptions, and stimulate your body to produce excess colestherol, so that adding further quantities by dietary intake may not really be a good idea.
