I disagree. By heavy-duty I mean what has lead to obesity, not having meat per se. A steak or a burger a day is not healthy for most of us and especially those of us with sedentary lives, however there’s nothing wrong with having these, even the greasiest ones every now and then. OF course any sign of government mandating what you should or shouldn’t eat and I’m going to go out and pig myself on what they say we shouldn’t :)

Large feeder calves don't get fat from eating meat, and its hard to find an obese lion. Without starches and sugars the meat is quite healthy and does not readily get turned into body fat.

Given the way our blood sugar levels correlate to obesity. You are better off eating a 700 calorie cheese burger, than eating a 700 calorie cinnamon roll. I generally feel the best and lose weight when I cut out grain based foods and sugars. I then eat more meat than usual and also more vegetables than usual.

But each to his own, is the best policy (or lack of policy, as it were).
