By JANE E. BRODY
There was a time when red meat was a luxury for ordinary Americans, or was at least something special: cooking a roast for Sunday dinner, ordering a steak at a restaurant. Not anymore. Meat consumption has more than doubled in the United States in the last 50 years.

Now a new study of more than 500,000 Americans has provided the best evidence yet that our affinity for red meat has exacted a hefty price on our health and limited our longevity.

Jane Brody obviously has no clue about the difference between correlation and causation (and that's just one of may criticisms of this observational "study")

BTW, just as I hit reply, I heard a NYC Fire Truck on the street. Since we know that every time there is a fire in NYC, a fire truck is at the scene, so, using Jane Brody's "logic", fire trucks cause fires. That fire truck outside my window must have been on the way to start a fire somewhere...
