Some kids like the meat and if that's what their bodies like and they don't have any problems then fine.
We should eat what our bodies can handle. When it comes to weight problems, the BIGGEST problem is portion sizes. Instead of the 20 oz Porterhouse...get the 8 oz strip...
As a kid I DESPISED meat and have always had my parents force it down my throat. As an adult, I don't deal with it anymore and now take pleasure in eating. Good riddance, as far as I'm concerned.
