Americans are often confused and often in denial when it comes to their diet. Some people are often ignorant to the consequences of consuming high calorie and high fat meals and what that looks like. Marketing has lead consumers to believe that they need to eat meals high in animal products, meat and dairy, in order to make sure they get enough protein in their diets and they turn to the easiest and quickest way to get it – fast food. Americans have become obsessed with singling out one of the three macronutrients, protein, thinking that will magically grow lean muscle mass in their body. This is furthest from the truth as extra protein simply turns to fat in the body after it has ruined the kidneys along the way (Barnard, 1998; Clark, 2012). Furthermore, the increase of animal products in pursuit of the beloved protein adds considerable amounts of artery clogging saturated fat and cholesterol.
