Meat offers many nutritional benefits and thus a valuable role as part of a modern and balanced diet. Meat is rich in protein and provides us with essential minerals, particularly iron which is needed to make hemoglobin, the vital oxygen carrying constituent of blood, as well as being one of our best sources of zinc, which is necessary for the immune system and healthy skin. Meat is also an important source of dietary B vitamins; it contains vitamin B12 which is not found in foods of vegetable origin, but is vital for healthy blood and nerves.One more significant fact - Britain has the highest rate of heart disease among EC countries, but the second lowest meat consumption per head. France has the highest meat consumption and the lowest heart disease rate!

by Dr. Gary Farr 2/14/2002
Amino acids are the chemical units or "building blocks," as they are popularly called, that make up protein. To understand how vital amino acids are, one must understand how essential proteins are to life. It is protein that provides the structure for all living things. Every living organism, from the largest animal to the tinniest microbe, is composed of protein. And in its various forms, protein participates in the vital chemical processes that sustain life.
