So, we all agree we want to eat healthy. However, when it comes to defining healthy eating recipes, many arguments and contradictory beliefs show up. Some nutritionists claim that cow’s milk, for instance, is highly detrimental to a baby’s normal development, because its formulation is completely different from the human milk one. They base their reasoning on the fact that a calf needs to grow much more than a human baby grows over its first year of life. I don’t really know what to say… we’ve grown up with cow’s milk and some of us are in an excellent shape and in good health.

One of the most appreciated meals in my group is the beef brisket. It’s never missing from our table whenever we meet for a small party, mostly over the weekends. Yet, there are so many beef brisket recipes out there, some of them healthier than others, that we can argue forever if eating this kind of food is actually healthy or not. Moreover, the beef brisket quality matters a lot: if you make sure to buy only high-quality, organic meat, coming from beef that’s been fed solely with grass, with no chemicals or artificial nutrients added, then you’ll probably be on the safe side with this kind of meals. There are some studies that have revealed that feeding an animal with grass leads to a higher level of good fatty acids like Omega 3, which are known to be a great helper in stopping the aging process.

I’d be happy to know what’s your take on that: can beef brisket recipes be considered healthy eating? Please just don’t tell me vegetarian is the way to go, because I don’t think I’m ready to drop meat from my diet, at least for the time being.
