The bottom line is that it's not that good for you. Especially the industrially produced meat of today.
You'd be better off health wise to get alternate proteins, like from beans and high protein grains like quinoa. Not only do you feel better, you body likes them more.

It's not that people should stop eating meat. It's just that they should really look at the amount they eat and the sources. IE wild vs. grocery/butcher vs. processed/prepared vs. however the heck they make fast food 'meats'.
As you go further and further down the scale it's worse for you, and worse for the planet.
Fast food chains are amongst the worst culprits on so many levels.
