Actually, the article says worldwide consumption of ANIMAL PROTEIN is 28 grams per day. Presumably, total protein intake is somewhat higher.

Again, the article does NOT say that a low-carb diet requires 100 grams of protein from beef, it says it requires 100 grams of animal protein and specifically mentions increases required in meat, dairy, poultry and seafood production to meet such demand. |
