@billlupin8345 "plenty" exactly, and given that the average american eats 220 kg of meat a year (world record), that translates to 8 times the recommended necessary amount of meat protein. In other words it translates to obesity, colorectal cancer and environmental destruction. And slaughter of 8 times more animals than is necessary even on a regular omnivore diet PS red meat is recommended to be eaten rarely. Hello from a much less fat part of the world, that eats much less meat (almost 3/4 less) ;)

@billlupin8345 I was sleep deprived (still am) so I wrote kg instead of lb (Im european so kg is an automatism). 220 lbs* hmpf However, it turns out that this is only data by the US Department of Agriculture, which tends to always minimise the huge figures. Instead, here is the data by the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (you can check that); It was ~250 pounds per year in 2013, likely having continued to rise. Australia is up there w the usa in overeating. I currently maintain my consumption at 65 lbs/year. Very little dairy as im lactose intolerant. You might think Im a vegan or another type of vegetarian, but Im not, Im a reductionist/flexitarian of a sort, also study biology so ecology is kind of one of my focuses. I believe a more pragmatic approach, which if applied (and it is easier to reduce and watch consumption than cut out totally, especially suddenly, tho it also opens up the door to bs and straying off the set goal daily average), would lead to a bigger neto global reduction. This is not philosophical ethicality wise, rather the practical side. edit: mandatory selection of typos

@billlupin8345 I'd clarify further the rsrely w figures but imma legit like, pass out from exhaustionn

@billlupin8345 hahahah thats a pretty big piece of chicken. 190 g. And 5 pieces of smoked ham in which each piece is 25 g (the standard). Tho also, processed meats like ham lose moisture and mass in the making process, so when you eat 150 g of it, that translates to quite a bit more meat that it started with. That's the issue w the american diet, the meat makes up the majority of the meal/large portion of it. It should be that it makes up a minority, with veggies and other making up the majority

@billlupin8345 the 250 lbs is not rounded up to account for fat people, it's average per capita, meaning fat, skinny, omnivore of all protein intake categories, vegan,vegetarian etc all averaged out. Now the fact that the average american is a fat person is smth else, but we dont know whether the fat ones eat more animal protein than the less fat and if yes how much. It is irrelevant either way. Per capita is per capita and thats it. edit; typos again...

@billlupin8345 O hhahahah no dude the data is gathered via meat for human consumption bought in shops and butcheries. Pet food doesnt count of course lol. Pet food is its own massive thing and is registered statistically as "pet food sold in XYZ year". If it were counted, it'd be a much bigger number. Even just the avg dog eats roughly around 350 grams of dog food per day (2 meals). Typical lower cost dog food cans are 40% meat. This is 140 grams a day. No one is going to count all scrap bones snd eyes (so the shit that doesnt end up in salami, because part of it ends up there and part in pet food) and no one is counting spoiled meat (except what you buy and ten let spoil, which is its own big problem), nor food that was perfectly good but was thrown out because demand was too small. None of these are counted. Spoiled meat from shops doesnt go into pet food Only meat from meat products marked as for human consumption, that were sold is counted.

@billlupin8345 no one said meat is the majority of the american diet damn. Ok now this is just a straight up strawman man... I said that in the case of american meat containing meals, most of them have meat (steaks and fillets of various kinds) as the dominant element, that is it's too dominant. Sometimes (quite often)it even makes up most of the meal (steak, barbecue) Potatoes in chips, fries and what not, fruits, bread, cereal and all of that is on the side, you dont eat that with meat dammit. Meal does not even equate to diet

@billlupin8345 wait, where did I ever mention the health impact of a slice of ham on a sandwitch?🤣🤣 Literally never. C'mon it's gettingpretty ridiculous at this point. My argument wasn't even health to begin with, rather the ecological and ethical ramifications of needless collective overeating on meat.

@billlupin8345 I didn't mean dominant in that sense😅 I meant that a wastefully small amount of non animal material is eaten on the side with meat (which doesnt necessarily mean that most of the meal is made of meat, sometimes it is, other times not). So meat portion is eaten in a wasteful excess, while the nonanimal portion of the meal in deficit. I hope you understand what I mean 😅

excessive protein intake doesnt lead to more muscle building. It is always the same as long as you are taking in enough protein (which is MUCH less than the american average, and I mean massively)
