John is a little confused. The "goodness" that you get out of steak is the protein in it, and there is no difference between MR and Well in terms of protein. However, if there are bacteria in the steak, MR is not likely to kill them.
Furthermore, the longer you cook the steak, the more those artery-clogging fats will drip out of it. And MR is harder to digest than Well Iron content will be "sealed" into the meat .. you might actually have more Fe in steak that is cooked more, because less blood will drip out of it As for carcinogens, that matters IF you are cooking over real charcoal. A gas flame will not give create carcinogens in food cooked over it.
But, for your purposes, just asking for Medium should do just fine ... Well is a bit of over-kill, and usually the meat turns out tough and pretty tasteless.
A medium rare steak does have a lot more taste than well done and in my opinion it would be better for you because the goodness in the steak has not been cooked out of it. As for his argument that a restraunt will not serve a well cooked steak or a well cooked anything is wrong, restraunts will ask how you like it cookede and will deliver it the way you prefer.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
