Animal Protein Diets vs. the Commons (Score 1)

How must it look in the world, that people grown fat in countries consuming several times the global norm of resources say they should solve their symptoms of overindulgence by consuming significantly *more* resources (all animal products)? Maybe, properly applied for brief periods, people can shed large amounts of fat and get back into balance with protein diets, and the impact isn't so great. But what is the reality ecologically? Getting vast numbers of people to consume more animal products for years and years with ambivalent results? Do the originators of these diets really have the right to extend them out of special case patients and burden the planet with yet more large scale unnecessary consumption?
