Of course rich Western adults could eat less meat.

I do wonder how this point was arrived at. It is a comment as old as the hills, or nearly.

Personally, I see far too many people who cannot access quality food, and meat consumption seems to be rather low, while crappy carbs are very high.

I completely agree. Even people who eat lots of vegetables and not lots of junk-food carbs aren't getting enough protein. People really misunderstand what the RDA recommendation is and is based on. It's only a bare minimum recommendation that's based on global concerns about inadequate diets. It's not a suggestion that you "only" need that much or a maximum, which is how most people consider it.
