Meat is one of the most important ingredients in a healthy diet.

I agree. But my wife and I are now 66, and we once ate steak about once every three weeks, but now it's every six weeks. As we age, our calorie needs shrink and our protein needs shrink. I think older Americans are eating less meat, but younger Americans are not.

I aim in the sixties myself and still eat it. Beef, chicken and pork.
