By crap, yes, mainly the saturated fats. But also, what was that grass fertilized with? What antibiotics or hormones did that steer have over it's lifetime? Again, I'm not saying it's for everyone. As my buddy's cardiologist said, "you have the genetics for heart attack risk. Now that you've had one, you need to eat this way." when talking about a vegan lifestyle. There are some people that can eat all the animal protein that they want, and they may have a healthy heart after the sixth decade of life. However, most people simply do not fit into that category. And while there are some in the cardiology community that certainly have done some rethinking regarding saturated fats (hardly a 180), even those would most likely tell you that a diet that consists primarily of animal protein is better than a diet that consists mainly of animal protein, unless that animal protein is fish. Facts are facts. The real killer in our culture is the refined carbs. If you never eat another refined carb, whether it be pasta, most bread, etc., you'd be better off than if you never ate meat again.
