I dunno.
Although I'm an enthusiastic backer of the cattlemen--Nebraska after all produces the finest beef in the world--I dine little on their products, probably a consequence of having to eat too much of the stuff when I was a kid.
It is possible to have "too much" sirloins, rib-eyes, T-bones.
When I left home as a teenager, the animal part of the diet abruptly changed, to near-exclusively poultry, egg, and dairy products, which continues today.
Actually, the diet contains very little animal products, even those things (other than 100% whole milk, pasteurized); during the blazing hot summers in the Sandhills of Nebraska, it can be 99% (well, maybe only 95%) fresh vegetables and fruits, and chipped ice.
I dine out rarely, and no matter the place, I always have the same thing, a burned hamburger and french fries cooked on the grill, not in a fryer. This is April 16; thus far this year I've had.....two hamburgers.
The last time I was in a "fast food" place was, probably 1987. It's been a very long time. I have no idea what McDonald's or Burger King is selling these days; and even back then, I never went into Wendy's, having at one time seen an example of their "well-done" hamburgers, saturated in grease and red on the inside. Never spent a dime at Wendy's in my life, not even for a soda.
Seeing how the "appreciation" for "fine dining" proved so catastrophic on other members of my family, I grew up to regard food as merely a fuel, nothing more. There's many other things in this life, in this world, to appreciate.
My intake of animal products--other than 100% pure whole milk, pasteurized--is probably way below the national average, but to me it's no big deal.
What's a big deal to me is the irritating tendency of vegetarians to claim some sort of moral superiority, as if vegetarianism is a "virtue." Being a vegetarian is no more virtuous than having five fingers on one hand, or hair on the top of one's head.
To each his own, whatever works, and nothing more than that.
