The other day I was reading an article and the guy writing it was commenting on a study he had just read. Seems the study concluded that when you eat red meat you increase your chance of death by 15 percent. Now his point was that your chance of death is already 100 percent so how can you increase it? Good question.
Which brings me to something I saw yesterday. I was perusing the tweets in my timeline on twitter and I came across one that linked to an article about eating red meat. According to the article, eating red meat makes you happy. Someone, somewhere, did a study that found that if you eat red meat you have less depression and if depressed people eat red meat they get happier. About a dozen or so tweets later a lady had linked to an article that said eating red meat shortens your life span. OK, don't know that either of these studies is valid, but assuming they both are then you have a choice, eat red meat, be happy, die sooner or don't eat red meat, live longer, be miserable.
The whole thing made me recall reading a long time ago where someone did a study and found that married men live longer, to which some comedian commented, not really, it just seems that way :>)
