I don't feel like I have to try and restrict my meat consumption consciously at all, and I eat about 80 lbs a year, which is less than half of what was in this diet. I very much doubt that someone who was trying to come up with a "healthy" omnivorous diet in a vacuum would include 6-8 ounces of meat per day. Neither the American nor global averages were meant to be examples of what "should" be eaten, they were merely reference points. Even the USDA recommends less than 6 ounces per day, and if I had to guess, their recommendations are, if anything, on the high side. And of course, all of this is ignoring that this study is hopelessly confounded with caloric differences between the two diets.
