I knew the whole processed food is evil mantra was all bullshit. Read the comments, Betty White loved hot dogs and eat them all the time, made it to 99.
Exceptions to every rule will not out-perform large samples. It's like the old age lifelong tobacco user being used as a poster child for the tobacco industry.
Edit: The best part is that this is NOT even Eric Berg! He is KenDBerryMD, dumbass, but whatever I said still true below. I guess you are the idiot who doesn't watch Tom Cruise movies... If your doctor is a Hare Krishna believer, but otherwise very good at what he does, do you hold that against him? And before you come with the "but Berg isn't even a doctor" BS, thanks god he isn't. Doctors know shit about nutrition and supplements, in 6 years of med school they spend like 1 day with that stuff. Sorry for being triggered, but I hate dumbass YT commenters who say exactly what you said, aka killing the messenger, but not able to deal with the message. Do you ACTUALLY have anything to say on the SUBJECT? I didn't think so...
Poor people would avoid eating meat (including highly processed meat) because of the high cost. Just an estimate; vegetables/bread/fruits/rice cost 1X Chicken cost 2X Pork cost 3X beef cost 4X fish cost 4X A few years ago, Haiti had a terrible natural disaster. People had to eat flour mixed with mud and salt just to fill their stomachs.
