I think you're right about the economics, but I'd hold off on blaming the meat. While the article mentions meat being more expensive, the rest of the article is filled with quotes like "snacking all day on bits of burger and pizza" and "drink lots of atole – a heavily sweetened corn-based drink". All pretty carb heavy. The article mentions that the dietary changes made are: "eats fast food just once a week, cooks more vegetables, has cut down the number of tortillas".
