Hello, I figured I can avoid any health problems buying meat from a butcher and/or deli If I decide to add meat to my food regimen rather than processed meat that comes in a package unless its maybe lean meat, grass fed and other things as discussed in my previous thread. I have seen on the nets that meat from butchers is not processed since it's not packaged, is that true?
the meat I have seen sold at the local butcher near me is somewhat expensive, at least for me it is but most of it doesn't have any additives and the meat that does have additives, its healthy additives and not a lot of it.
Is deli meat processed?
I think the only main difference between deli meat and meat form a butcher is the meat from a butcher is raw while meat from a deli is already cooked or pre cooked so deli meat may be more expensive since it requires more work to produce by cooking it. A long time ago I bought low sodium plain ham from a deli with no additives. most of the meat i saw being sold in the deli had additives and to much of them, some of the additives were really bad if i remember right.
The nutritionist I saw told me to add lean meat like chicken, turkey or fish for my protein other then just non meat protein like nuts or beans. that's why I may consider to add meat to my food regimen.
