No haha. Actually as an adult infrequently eat red meat though very much agree such can be very enjoyable. When I do, cannot fit much in. As a kid, Mom who loved cooking made a wide range of meat dinners.
As a kid in K12 schools without cafeterias, while most others brought usual meat sandwiches to schools, for this person it was usually PBJ's.
At 73 now I'm still about a fit BMI 23 and have been 21 to 24 all my adult life. IMO a key to not gaining weight few in media mention is eating smaller portions and doing so more slowly. Many people gulp down food in huge mouthfuls much like dogs with a burger dropped on the ground by a tyke and don't stop until their intestinal tract feels too full. Over time that is sure to enlarge their stomach and intestines so they need to increasingly eat to reach a full feeling. As a Silicon Valley high tech worker for 4 decades, there were always work place department lunches paid for by management as a perk. Invariably I would order the smallest menu items versus co-workers and would be the last to finish as many sat around tables looking at the wall.
