Not all meats are safe. Walk through a supermarket aisle and you’ll see shiny packages of “ready-to-eat” meats loaded with ingredients that have no place in your body.
The Problem with Processed Meat
-
Chemical Preservatives: Nitrates and nitrites that may increase cancer risk.
-
Excessive Sodium: Can harm heart health and lead to water retention.
-
Fillers and Additives: Starches, sugars, and artificial flavors that do nothing for nutrition.
-
Low-Quality Meat Sources: Often from factory farms with poor animal health and antibiotic overuse.
This is why going to fast-food restaurants everyday is looked down upon by health experts. Which should also be the standard when it comes to plant-based meat. Another overly-processed type of "fake meat" that shouldn't be consumed by anyone. We get it, that some people want to eat a vegan diet, but "plant-based" meat is not the way to go.
Health Consequences
-
Increased risk of colon cancer and other cancers.
-
Inflammation and gut damage, leading to bloating and discomfort.
-
Hormonal disruption from industrial processing chemicals.
-
Nutrient loss during heavy processing and preservation.
At Dude Food, we believe meat should be:
-
Clean: Zero unnecessary chemicals.
-
Whole: Minimal handling, maximum nutrition.
-
Transparent: Straight from our 200+ Midwest family farms.
If your meat comes with a paragraph of ingredients, it’s not real food.
