Researchers from the Harvard Medical School in the US studies 120,000 people over three decades have discovered that eating red meat will decrease life expectancy.
Time to ban eating meat now as a matter of public health. Feeding meat to children should be considered child abuse and the parents prosecuted.

Eating one extra portion of red meat per day will increase the risk of death by up to 13%.
Although processed meat, which is usually ostracised by dieticians for being pumped full of rubbish, was found to be the most dangerous, it was found that eating unprocessed meat still caused higher rates of mortality from cancer and cardiovascular problems than not eating it at all.
Indeed, eating just one portion extra of red meat a day can lead to a 13% increase in the risk of death. This is thought to be due to the higher levels of saturated fat in such meats, as well as the sodium used when processing.
This evidence points clearly to the need for a ban on all meat eating to protect public health. There can no longer be any argument on this issue - eating meat kills you.
