Oven-baked salmon parcel infused with garlic herb butter, fresh vegetables, and zesty lemon.
The limitations of their recent study were largely ignored, with reporters erroneously claiming red meat causes type 2 diabetes.
"The benefits of weightlifting do not end with strength, speed, power and flexibility. The clean and jerk and the snatch both develop coordination, agility, accuracy and balance and to no small degree. Both of these lifts are as nuanced and challenging as any movement in all of sport. Moderate competency in the Olympic lifts confers added prowess to any sport."

Preparation
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut a square of parchment paper large enough to encase the salmon (5 oz) and vegetables.
Place the zucchini (½ zucchini), salmon, lemon slices (½ lemon), kale (⅓ cup), cherry tomatoes (2), and asparagus (2 spears) in the center of the parchment paper. Drizzle with garlic herb butter (2 Tbsp) and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Fold over two sides of the parchment to create a parcel, twisting the ends to seal tightly. Place the parcel on a baking tray and bake for 14-18 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Open the parcel slightly and sprinkle dill (1 Tbsp) over the salmon and vegetables. Garnish with an extra squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
Harvard’s recent study on red meat consumption has come under fire for methodological flaws, including reliance on observational data and self-reported dietary habits. Critics argue that the study’s conclusions—linking red meat to negative health outcomes—are overstated and fail to account for confounding factors like overall lifestyle and dietary patterns. This controversy highlights the ongoing challenges in nutritional research and the potential consequences of using weak evidence to shape public dietary guidelines.
