Americans eat more meat and especially more red meat than most other people on the planet. Why aren't we killing it on hormone balance, mental health, and fertility?

If you consume a few grams of lead and then a carrot, are you suddenly healthy?
If the claim is that a lack of meat in our diets is what is causing these issues then I'd expect there to be some connection in the data. It is possible that all of the benefit we get from our meat eating habits are overwhelmed by other harmful effects. But if that is the case then surely "change those other harmful effects" is more valuable than "increase meat consumption further."
"Eat Real Food" is that message exactly... Roughly half of people's caloric intake is already meat... this proposal doesn't significantly change that. But it completely eliminates any recommendation for highly refined foods altogether and significantly reduces suggestions for high sugar foods as well.
