Front page of NYT Online: MU bball nutrition

Given how much the game has moved toward data-driven insights, I'm shocked there aren't more Tom Brady-esque diets on the team. I get that they're still a bunch of 20 year old guys, but still... It shouldn't be hard to tell them not to eat Fruity Pebbles instead of an omelet or granola. I'm also surprised we don't have a nutritionist. At the very least, you'd think we could have a student-run program (assuming MU offers classes in nutrition) to put some healthy meal plans together.

Marquette doesn't offer a nutrition major and as of 2 years ago they stopped offering their only nutrition course.

Lloyd Moore would benefit from this thread.

This couldn't be more false.  Antibiotics, pesticides etc. have nothing to do with whether ground beef gets contaminated. 

Ground beef gets contaminated because the machines used for grinding handling the ground beef is contaminated, because all the meat is exposed to air/material ground beef is more likely to be contaminated and it is then more prudent to heat it to a higher temperature. 

If butchered well you can eat the meat raw (beef tartare).  The MU players are right, Medium rare burgers are ideal...depending on location I may go with Medium though for safety sake.  Medium well are ruined.

Are you a meat science kinda guy?

As a person who has spent their entire life doing science, everything you write on this topic is pure pseudoscience with near zero basis in empirical data.  It is a pet peeve of mine...but I need to learn to let these things go as you are free to believe what you want to believe.

LOL.  Your degrees are bigger than my degrees?

Yes, you need to learn a lot....
