Yes, goat is an alternative to beef! Older adults are concerned that eating beef is dangerous... recalled tainted beef, Mad Cow disease, and e-coli specifically. The American Meat Goat Association [AMGA] promotes goat as an acceptable American cuisine product. A 3-oz. serving of goat has:
122 calories [23 gms protein, 2.6 gms fat]
Very high riboflavin [skin, nails, hair]
Very high zinc [healing, mental wellness, immune system]
High iron [energy, disease resistance, skin]
High niacin [stress, digestion, skin]
HIgh phosphorus [bones, teeth, gums]
High selenium [stamina, slow aging, anti-cancer]
High Vitamin B-12 [energy, healthy nervous system, anemia]
Substituting goat for beef is an alternative that many older adults should consider. Contact your specialty meat market. I recently made stew with goat and it was delicious and inexpensive at $2.99 lb.
