Carnivore's Dilemma: How Do We Eat Meat in the 21st Century? - Rob Kunzig

American beef consumption peaked in the 1970's. Since then, chicken has become a much more popular source of meat, because people perceive chicken to be better for us. But, National Geographic reporter Rob Kunzig explains that the science is pretty unclear on the health benefits of avoiding beef. He also says that if someone is concerned about animal welfare, eating chicken isn't necessarily better than eating beef either, from his observations visiting a chicken farm. Kunzig said that he has concerns about how the United States produces all meat, but now, "I eat more beef than I did before I reported this story." His article, "Carnivore's Dilemma," appears in the November 2014 issue of National Geographic magazine.
