Organ meats
Liver, heart and kidney eaten for the nutrient density rather than the taste
Liver, heart, kidney and other offal, cooked as food or, in some corners of the wellness world, swallowed freeze-dried in capsules. Beef liver carries a lot of vitamin A, B12, copper and iron per bite, which is the argument people make for it. That same density is the counterweight, since vitamin A and copper accumulate, so regular eaters tend to keep portions small rather than serve a plate of it daily. Offal is among the cheapest meat at any butcher. Taste is the real barrier for most people, which is why the capsules exist.

Actor · the Baywatch body and what it cost him
Liver and onions is the dish he names. He calls it kind of weird that he really likes organ meats, and Men's Health frames giving them up as one of the costs of the vegan stretch.
