HEALTH: Food ~ high fats and low carbs or...?

The meat and dairy industry has bombarded us for decades on the health benefits of eating foods that are high in protein (meat, fish, cheese, eggs) and high in calcium (milk, cheese, yogurt) every day, preferably several times a day. But anywhere in the world where people eat the Standard American Diet (SAD), you’ll find obesity and ill health. Visit Japan (by internet if not in person) and you’ll see American-sized overweight teenagers. Closer to home, ask any of your overweight friends or relatives how often they eat any of these high-protein or high-calcium foods: Once a month? Or once or more a day?
