Not good or bad: It's the same as any other organ meat. It's high in fat and can increase cholesterol, so moderation is important. Remember, the liver is where all the hormones, additives and antibiotics are stored that are given to the animal to fatten it up prior to slaughter. Makes you think twice, doesn't it?
