I am a social soda drinker and social beef eater.
I take most of my health advice from Jack Lalanne, he cannot be wrong.
While many people think not eating any meat is better for you, it isn't true across the board. Some people can't eat meat and some people have to. However, for nearly all people, seafood and poultry are better than beef and such. The occasional burger won't help, but a diet based more on fish oils is better for your brain, and lean protein is healthier for your heart.
"It isn't what you do once in a while that kills you, it's what you do all the time."
But hey, if you don't eat meat at all, it won't kill you as long as your diet is healthy in protein, eating nuts and soybeans and the like.
I stopped drinking soda altogether for a while but decided that one every couple of weeks won't hurt and I enjoy it. Same as I enjoy the occasional hamburger, but it isn't going to kill my pullups. I also like elk, but only sometimes.
