I agree!

I love blueberries, aren't they a superfood in delicious whole form, no powder needed?
I find the smaller 'wild' blueberries are the tastiest.
Wild blueberries are cultivated, but supposedly not the modern hybrids that are huge in size and short on flavor.

Yep. Red meat is incredibly nutrient dense and IS a "super food" and is treated very unfairly. However, quality does matter. Organic and/or grass fed or pastured is certainly best. You want your body to produce adequate testosterone? Dietary cholesterol, (good) saturated fats, and complete proteins are essential. Saying that stuff is bad is........hogwash. Mmmmmmmmmm.....hogs.

Yes, I will put that on my bucket list!

And I will go off on a tangent here...

I agree with the steak remarks about red meat - it is great food.
What I have also learned is that as much as I like red meat and eating some contributes to my wellbeing, too much of a good thing is not good anymore.

So I have learned to treat red meat as one of my superfoods. (more

)
If I don't eat any for a few days then when I finally have some the superfood effect is obvious.

I rank meats this way, with #1 being the most super for me:

1. Red meat, aka ungulates, like beef, lamb, goat.
2. Hogs are great, but not as super as #1.
3. Birds come last, but are still good food.

Eggs are not meat but I think they are a superfood too!
And if I had easy access to good seafood that's more superfood there.

Many common vegetables and fruit are quite super too. Wait, do I sound like a broken record?
The foods to avoid are those over-processed, over-sweetened, and bred so intensely for mass appeal that they have lost their food value.
Too much easy sugar+starch and too much PUFA (junk oils) are detrimental to our health.
IMO and experience, replacing the junk oils with natural saturated fats is one of the most effective ways to reduce inflammation in the body.
But I am not a physician, don't blindly take the word of some anonymous Internet forum poster like me.
