Okinawans live well past 100, and are doing physical activity into their 90s. Americans are falling apart by the time they turn 60, dead before they hit 80.

I hope the flavor is worth the colon cancer!

Not American myself, but I can think of a few factors besides meat:

less stress
less polution
less processed food, be it meat or not
less sugar
less sedentary lifestyle
genes

Nutrition alone won't get you to 100. Having a diverse diet keeps ypu healty, but there are many factors that impact health. I do agree that meat is overused in general population, but can't really force the vegan/vegetarian lifestyle onto an omnivore specie.

I'm sure that's the only difference between the average American and people from those countries. Same exact genetics, lifestyles, air pollution, economy, etc.

While moderation is the key to everything, and I wouldn't be surprised if cutting out red.meat is a lot healthier for the consumer

Feels like you just randomly made something up here by comparing some random outlier stories you've heard.
