Meat digestion

[krb]

For me, meat isn't as cut and dry of as issue as dairy is. Up to 75% of adults are lactose intolerant. No other animal on this planet drinks milk once they are weened, let alone drinks the milk of another species. Most of my health problems went away when I went vegan, and honestly I believe it was primarily the effects of quitting dairy. I think eating small amounts of meat can be justified, I don't think there is any justification for eating dairy.

Since you mentioned dairy and the lactose intolerance...

I wonder how much of the intolerance is due to:
(1) Milk cows fed grains instead of grass (bad).
(2) Pasteurization that destroys the enzymes in the milk needed to digest it properly.
(3) Hormonal injections of the cows.
(4) More stuff to numerous to list.

I think the biggest thing of the intolerance is the pasteurization/homogenization.

One thing about adults and dairy. I suffered for years with lower than average weight... I couldn't gain weight no matter what or how much I ate... always "skinny". I happened to find a source of raw cow milk and consumed several gallons of it over the course of a month. Miraculously, I gained 25 pounds of much needed frame weight. I looked healthy and normal for the first time in my life.

I don't think dairy is a problem if we have an unadulterated source... just like meat.

This thread is about meat, so I'll leave it as is.
