Well, I’m really not that concerned about the chemical and hormone content. I’m a little concerned about BSE, just because, like HIV, its incubation period is long enough to allow an outbreak to spread unchecked for years. But the biggest factor in my consideration is simple nutrition. Most Americans far exceed their protein needs, and red meats are fattier than white. Now that I’m taking my cycling seiously, I’m particularly concerned about my fat intake, which is also the reason for some of my previous years’ resolutions (cutting down on cheese, ice cream, whole milk, et cetera).
