Beef "is it healthy for you" that question comes up a lot, the way how the cattle is fed can be a big factor in if beef is healthy for you.
Red meat is not exactly bad for you because fresh meet can provide a number of necessary nutrients like Iron, protein and certain Enzymes. One thing on how meat can be bad for our health is its diet that the cattle are fed; most Cattle in the U.S. are raised in pens of open fields but when they are in the pens they are fed a homemade diet consisting of soy, chicken manure, corn starch, and food waste.
Commercially raised cows get put into small and cramped pens and are given poor diet food, and because of their week immune system they are given antibiotics to quicken their speed of growth.
Natural grass fed diets are much better, it produces nutrients in their meat but it takes up to four or five years to completely mature.
Beef can contain zinc, and zinc is good for your immune system, and beef provides good protein for you.
Grass feed beef have a lot of natural vitamin E.
