Help check Obesity
Obesity according to medicalnewstoday.com is a situation “where a person has accumulated so much body fat that it might have a negative effect on their health.”

If your Body Mass Index (BMI) is between 25 and 29.9 you are considered overweight and meat serves as fuel for obesity. To stay within safe weight boundaries, checking the size of beef on your plate can help you live longer.

One can consume meat but it should be the "white" one. When i mean white meat, i am talking about chicken,turkey,fish, rabbits. They are very nutritous.
