MEAT = FAT? |
| |
| |
|
This is
the very
question
that
comes to
the mind
when we
pick a
pack of
frozen
meat or
ready to
cook
meat
dish. Is
it good
for our
health?
Isn't it
the root
cause of
Obesity
& Heart
Attack?
In a
world
vegetarianism
is
spreading
like a
religion,
its
tough to
take
stands
for meat
and meat
products.
But Dr A
J
Abraham,
who is
thorough
in all
the
intricacies
of meat
production
and
processing,
comes
out open
in
defense
of non
vegetarian
food
habits
and
breaks
many a
myths
and
misconceptions
through
his
studies
and
practices
in this
area. |

|
According
to Dr A
J
Abraham,
the
obesity
among
Indian
meat
eaters
could
not be
directly
attributed
to the
use of
meat as
such.
the
culprit
in most
cases
are the
other
food
habits
like
rice and
rice
products,
potato
etc
which
are rich
in
carbohydrates
and thus
act as a
cause
for
obesity. |

Meat is
an
important
livestock
product,
which is
highly
nutritious
containing
an
average
of
18-20%
protein
in
addition
to fat,
carbohydrates,
vitamins
and
minerals.
The
vegetarians
are
reported
to be at
higher
risk for
cardio
vascular
diseases
due to
higher
levels
of
homocysteine
in their
blood.
For
catabolism
of
homocysteine
vitamin
B12 is
required
which
are
complementary
in
preventing
cardiovascular
diseases
are
largely
available
in meat
and in
fish.
Conjugated
leinolenic
acid
which is
considered
as a
therapeutic
agent
for
heart
diseases
are
available
only in
red meat
and
hence
the
American
Heart
Association
has
recently
advised
the
intake
of lean
red meat
by
patients
with
high
cholesterol.
The
persons/organizations
advocating
for
vegetarianism
conveniently
hide
these
facts
from the
public
and
propagate
the
false
information
that
world
over,
people
are
turning
to
vegetarianism. |

THE LEAN MEAT |
| |
| |
|
The
studies
on meat
and meat
products
show
that
most of
the
facts
and
figures
that
leave a
shock in
your
mind
about
the fat
content
which
leads to
increased
cholesterol
content
in meat
eaters
are
purely
quoted
from
studies
in
western
countries
and
context.
The Fat
content
in the
western
cattle
are as
high as
15 % and
is
destined
to call
it Fat
Meat.
But
Indian
meat
comes
under
the
category
of Lean
Meat
having a
fat
content
less
than 5 %
and in
most
cases on
an
average
of 2.5
%.
"Eating
such
meat
will
never
ever
cause
any
health
hazards"
stresses
Dr A J
Abraham.

FROM PASTURE TO PLATE |
| |
| |
|
We all
believe
in the
catchword
'Farm
Fresh",
but we
all in
one way
or other
believe
that
this is
just a
catch
word and
nothing
more and
nothing
less!
But for
Dr A J
Abraham,
the
vision
behind
Varsha
Fresh
Meat
Products
Limited,
it’s a
challenge
which he
easily
conquered
with a
team of
dedicated
staff
and a
set of
most
modern
equipments
at the
Varsha
campus
sprawling
in 25
acres.
From the
selection
of stock
cattle
to the
preparation
and
storage
of the
ready to
eat
dishes,
reaches
the
personal
attention
of Dr
Abraham,
and he's
very
stringent
on the
quality
standards
which
most
other
players
could
never
dream
of.
Untouched
by naked
human
hand and
never
hits the
ground
even if
it's
made
according
to
utmost
quality
and
hygiene
standards |
| |
|
The
machines
and
equipments
used are
the
latest
and best
and the
personnel
employed
are well
trained
in each
and
every
stages
of
producing
best
results.
The
technology
can be
called
futuristic
and the
experts
involved
are true
authorities
in their
arena
led by
none
other
than Dr
A J
Abraham. |

PRODUCTION TECHNOLGY |
| |
| |
|
One of
the most
deterrent
factors
which
drive
away
people
from the
slaughter
houses
of our
local
and
urban
markets
is in no
doubt
the way
it
maintained
without
even the
faintest
thought
on
health
and
hygiene.
Even the
very
thought
of
slaughter
houses
bring
nightmares
to
health
conscious
consumers.
The
frequent
outbreak
of
epidemics
can in
one way
attributed
to the
primitive,
unscientific,
unhealthy
and
unhygienic
practices
of
slaughter
and
waste
disposal.
The
unscientific
practices
in
production,
when
join
hands
with the
primitive
slaughter
techniques
and poor
infrastructure,
result
in poor
quality
of the
meat
available
thus
causing
an
aversion
in
people
towards
meat. In
traditional
slaughter
houses
the meat
is
exposed
to
innumerable
micro
organisms
and
disease
agents
which
add up
to the
rapid
multiplication
of micro
organisms
and
spoilage
of meat |
| |
|
At
Varsha
Fresh
Meat
products
Limited,
we have
taken
utmost
care to
overhaul
the
existing
situation
by
following
strict
and
stringent
guidelines,
quality
assurances
in each
stage of
production
and
using
precise
machines
and
methods
establishing
modern
and
scientific
abattoir
and meat
processing
unit
which
has
|
| |
| |
|
Overhead Rail Dressing System, |
| |
|
R&D Laboratory, |
| |
|
Carcass Utilization Plant, |
| |
|
Effluent Treatment Plant and also |
| |
|
HACCP system |
|
| |
|
Anti-mortem
and
postmortem
examination
of
animals
/ birds
and
regular
and
effective
inspection
of meat
will
ensure
the
quality
of the
meat
products. |

FRESH FROZEN MEAT |
| |
| |
|
We at
Varsha
prefer
to call
our
frozen
meat
range as
Fresh
Frozen
Meat
with all
our heat
as it is
made as
fresh as
the
fresh
meat
itself.
We
carefully
select
the best
cattles
and
using
our
plant
which is
designed
to
produce
high
quality
frozen
halal
meat
such as
Beef,
Mutton,
Chicken
and Veal Beef
bring to
you the
best
fresh
frozen
meat
range
available
in the
market
which
goes
through
thorough
quality
checks
and
other
examinations
by
expert
veterinary
doctors
and
other
personnel. |

NUTRITION VALUE |
| |
| |
|
Frozen
Halal
meat is
heart
hygienic,
healthy,
low in
cholesterol
and fat,
and high
in
protein
which
has a
high
nutritional
value
and is
vital
source
of
easily
absorbed
zinc and
iron. A
good
source
of
vitamins
and
minerals,
it
fastens
generation
of
energy
from
fatty
acids. |
| |
|
Halal
meat is
an
excellent
source
of high
quality
protein
which
also
contains
iron in
a form
that
could be
easily
absorbed
into the
body.
The iron
in our
food
habits
acts as
a
catalyst
in the
formation
of red
blood
cells.
The
Halal
meat is
also a
good
source
of Zinc
which is
required
for our
body to
gear up
the
growth
and
healing
and
healthy
immune
system.
It is
also a
great
source
of
vitamin
B which
is
essential
for
metabolic
reactions
in the
human
body. It
offers
over 100
per cent
of the
daily
requirement
of B12
and is a
good
source
of
thiamin.
It also
contains
trace
elements
such as
copper,
manganese
and
selenium.
