Completely agree with your assessment of the problem, but I suspect the US diet is already much too meat and animal products based, and encouraging people to lose weight by eating more meat is both bad for the environment and probably not great for their health.

The problem isnt too meat and animal products it is the whole thing. Litterally any diet choice that deviates from the SAD has positve value.

I agree with "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants." but the thing to do more of is to rip the whole diet up and start again.
