Im a firm believer in "moderation". If you eat meat on occasion its really not that bad for you.

my question is: where are all the boy dairy cows? are they beef cattle? and are all female beef cattle dairy cows? or does the beef humans eat all come from the male?

ps. i know the answer to the first question.:)

If I'm not mistaken most of the beef we eat comes from exclusively cows (which are by deafult female, males are bulls). "Beef cows" are different breeds than "Dairy cows". The latter are permitted to live long and its sole "purpose in life" is to get milked. Bulls, on the other hand, are never eaten, they are used as stallions for breeding.

I know this 'cause one of my country's lagest exports is read meat. And apparently Argentina's red meat has a relatively low fat content.

Personally I eat meat like once a week or even less. However, here in Argentina doctors recommend not to totally ban meat from your diet, according to my doctor I'm at fault with my red meat consumption. Actually when women get pregnant they recommend to increase red meat ingestion to two/three times par week.
