That's a fair point, I was mostly thinking that many people consume far too much meat, and that reducing it would be healthy, but if it's only being replaced with trash then it wouldn't be any better

If we're talking about processed meat, that's probably true. Even a small amount is probably too much.* If we're talking about like, grilled whole cuts? Which admittedly probably isn't typical in most diets, hard to get too much of that. And would be much more common if we were butchering our own meat. But so too would probably be sausage and cured meat so, now I'm not so sure things would change that much.

*Guilty as charged.
