Obviously that's just the most generic information, but I think we can all agree that most westerners eat a much higher % of meat in their diet than is even recommended by our own doctors and nutritionists.

Its harder that you think to get 100g+ of protein per day. A large steak only has 50g. And how many people eat a large steak everyday?
