Whether you believe in evolution or creationism, cooked red meat was an important factor to the expansion of the human brain. The vitamins and minerals in beef are known to help make children smarter and adults sharper. Don't believe us? Research! Here are some articles we found:

Google "Beef for the Brain," what comes up? For us, Iowa Beef Bureau pops up stating that humans require 3 micrograms of b12 per day for optimal brain function. For every 3 oz red meat, there is 1.5 micrograms b12. B12 is required in the body for healthy nerves, brain function, and DNA synthesis; it can be found in many meats but beef is the highest contender. B12 is not the only nutrient found in red meat; it includes iron, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamins D & B6, riboflavin, and many others.
Though many plants have similar nutrients as beef & meat, they are in much smaller amounts and not readily available. The amount of vegetables needed to consume the nutrients in beef is astounding. (Check the article linked above for this comparison.)
NOTE: we do encourage a balanced diet with beef, fruits, vegetables, and other nutrients. In fact, if you're one who sometimes has a hard time consuming beef, eat some blueberries during your meal! Blueberries have natural enzymes that break beef down.
