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.

The moment I saw whole milk and a huge steak in the intro, I knew this website was not to be trusted.

Milk is very unhealthy, in any quantity.

Meat is as well. Maybe organic in small quantities, not too often can help.

Fish is problematic as much is contaminated with mercury and other heavy metals (we poisoned the ocean).

So what then do you believe is a healthy diet? Surely eating animal protein on a regular basis is better than having to take a variety of unregulated supplements to stay within a healthy range of essential vitamins and minerals? Animal protein also has the upside of offering a tremendous amount of, well, protein, alongside the necessary vitamins.

Dairy (in certain forms) offers the same benefits.
