Dropping red meat is far from the answer to and as other areas on the globe have shown that eating it and heart issues, cancer issues, obesity issues, etc are not always related to it. We do however see a big difference with just eating well, seasonally, and a variety.

I don't think so. You pull into a fast food chain and a value meal could cost you $6-$8? Buy some bananas at .69 -.89 cents a pound costing you about $1.75 or so. Buy seven apples to last you a week at about $2.50. A pound of grapes at $2.00 - $2.50. Some blueberries on sale for buy one get one free at $3.00. That's four servings of fruit right there for the entire week for one person. That's just over the cost of one value meal.
Now add about 3 cans of light canned tuna for .79 cents a can. Loaf of whole wheat bread for $2.50. Or you could buy a can of wild caught salmon for $1.79 that would last you a week for three meals. Salmon is safer to eat than tuna and also has much more Omega 3s in them. Buy some cereal for $4 - 5 of something high in fiber like Fiber One. That's two meals right there. Add in a third meal like a peanut butter/jelly sandwich or can of soup or... turkey, chicken. That is not more expensive than eating out. If you buy expensive steaks each week... ya, that will cost you. But what I just listed here... is healthy food.
I never said to cut out red meat entirely. I said that eating LESS would be safer. As far I know, all the latest clinical studies show that eating high amounts of red meat do increase your chances for heart disease and cancer. I did not say that this is the only cause of these diseases. But that it increases your risk. And Rockastansky is in Norway. That is why I said that to him. I honestly don't know the heart disease rate in Norway... but I do know that in Japan it is low, and they eat lots of fish. I guess this depends also on the kind of fish. And other factors too.. but eating heart healthy fish such as salmon, herring, sardines, etc has proven to provide many health benefits.
