Iowa Minute: Meat is healthier than you think

With meat alternatives and other substitutes readily available at the grocery store, it can be confusing to determine what is healthy and what may be less so.

It is simple (and less heavily processed than many meat substitutes or alternatives), tasty, and nutritious, with vitamins and minerals that you can't easily find in other foods.
