I can't remember when I last ate red meat.

But based on the contents of our trash can, it was today

Oh, shit. You got me here.

Of course

Thanks!

red meat is essentially mammal meat (and the other very small groups of animals e.g marsupials)

Pretty sure it's because of all the garbage and medical stuff they feed the things, and not the meat itself.

No, two of the most likely mechanisms are cholesterol and AGEs.
