I definitely agree with the negative side effects more than likely being derived from how meat is nastily processed and pumped with chemicals. I feel that it can be okay in moderation, if you choose to indulge. I am just on a journey to exclude it altogether myself. More likely than not, people go straight to local grocery stores to purchase meats, which is where the unsanitary processed purchases are made. We need a lot more quality meats at our disposal but at this point, I feel it is just a far fetched idea. Awareness is better than ignorance though so I hope some light could be shed on what happens with most of the food being produced.
