Of note: the US's per capita consumption of meat has increased by more than 100 pounds over the last century[1]. We now consume an immense amount of meat per person in this country. That increase is disproportionately in poultry, but we also consume more beef[2].

A demand for the average American to eat more meat would have to explain, as a baseline, why our already positive trend in meat consumption isn't yielding positive outcomes. There are potential explanations (you could argue increased processing offsets the purported benefits, for example), but those are left unstated by the website.

It says 1.2-1.6 grams of protein and healthy fats per kilogram of body weight, from animal and plant sources (including milk). Is that really advocating for more meat?

>>jdlsho+WO
90g of protein, what is recommended for me, is like 4 hamburgers or a 16oz steak per day ...

Doesn't make sense to me that a 400lb obese person would need to consume the same amount of protein as a 400lb lean muscle bodybuilder.

All of the protein recommendations I've seen were for lean mass. You don't feed fat.

>>tejohn+DR
I am not 400lbs... I don't know if you are implying that... if so check your math:

1.2g/kg * 90kg (~200lbs-lean) = 108g of protein.

each person, on average, in the US would be eating one 16oz steak or 3-5 hamburgers every day.

>>omgJus+DE1
A 16oz steak is over 50% protein, or over double your entire daily target. Hamburger count could be right, if you are eating McDonald's burgers or similar. But then you are not following the guidelines, with far too much processed grains and added sugars.

Your beef is with wiki or facts :

"high scores: braised eye-of-round steak 40.62; broiled t-bone steak (porterhouse) 32.11; grilled lean steak 31.0 " numbers are grams per hundred grams or wiki also reports 25% as the average, thus your factor of 2 error in weight (400 instead of 200).
