Meat is a healthy product, but only on condition that it is of high quality. To eat it or not, everyone decides for himself.
meat with antibiotics
The American edition of Organic Life writes that animals that are raised in America for meat eat more than 30 million pounds of antibiotics a year. All meat sold in hypermarkets contains antibiotics. Scientists joke that it is not necessary to go to the doctor to get a prescription for an antibacterial drug. You can go to the store and buy a steak. This joke would be funny, but the situation is actually very serious. Regular intake of microdoses of antibiotics in the body contributes to the development of bacterial resistance to these drugs.
To protect yourself from taking meat with unnecessary additives, you should eat only domestic products. However, it is impossible to guarantee that Russian producers do not use antibiotics for raising livestock. In addition, there is always the risk of acquiring a fake.
The organization Roskontrol in May 2017 published data that foreign companies receive huge profits if they sell their meat under the guise of Russian products.
Not all meat is dangerous to health and contains antibiotics. In order to protect yourself from buying harmful products, you need to choose the chicken, pork or beef that you are sure of.

Representatives of the organization PETA (animal advocates) draw attention to the fact that Americans are 2 times more likely than other peoples of the world to suffer from obesity and diabetes. It is this nation that eats the most meat. Their risk of developing cancerous tumors is 3 times higher. It cannot be unequivocally stated that it is meat products that become the main cause of the development of these diseases. However, they are among the leading risk factors.
Even cats, by their example, show people that they need to eat meat, but within reasonable limits. Interesting data leads the American edition of The Metro. Journalists published an article about two long-livers cats. The owner fed them exclusively on eggs, broccoli, coffee and bacon. Surprisingly, one cat lived to be 38 and the other to 34. While the maximum age threshold for this breed is 15 years.
