✱ Processed Meats
Processed meats like hot dogs and packaged ham have many disadvantages. For starters, they’re not produced with the highest quality meat; they could even be considered a byproduct of the meat industry. They have lots of salt and preservatives too. Scientific evidence against processed meat is piling up, and some maladies, from diabetes to cancer, are being linked to these products.
The best alternative is eating fresh, lean meat sourced from your local butcher.
