I guess it's a matter of perspective and what you're used to. Some indigenous North American peoples used to subsist largely on bison for at least part of the year and often consumed 5 pounds or more of meat and other animal products per day. Was that too much?

They also had an average lifespan of 40 years. Now obviously, high meat consumption isn't the cause of that, but we now know that eating large amounts of red meat leads to an overall reduced lifespan in societies where people make it to 70 on a regular basis.

> Was that too much

I challenge you to eat 5 pounds of animal products in a day, for three days.
