I’m having trouble finding… any kind of dietary information that isn’t obviously politicized (in any direction) right now.
But basically, when people think of a “serving” of meat, they imagine a large hunk of steak, when in fact a serving is more like the size of a deck of cards. A healthy diet has enough things going on in it besides meat that removing meat shouldn’t feel like it’s gutting out your entire source of pleasure from food.
Ah. Yeah, I don’t eat meat in huge chunks or anything. But meat sure is delicious, and comes in a bunch of different formats. Obviously removing meat would not totally turn my diet into a bleak, gray desert of bland gruel; I don’t think anyone would claim that. But it would make it meaningfully less enjoyable, on the whole.
