Protein comes from many, many sources, and to say that eating meat is automatically eating healthier ignores the vast majority of obese and unhealthy people in my country (US), most of whom eat large amounts of animal products. If we are using personal examples as proof of theories, I would like to point out that all of my family is overweight, and all of them eat meat. My friend went vegetarian and has lost 30 lbs in 6 months without dieting, and has more energy than she ever has.

Animal products may not be the main cause of the issue, it's the over-consumption of carbohydrate/sugar, lack of physical exercise and the use of damaged veg oil/trans fat that cause the epidemic of obesity and its related diseases worldwide. I believe the faster people realize this the better it is so that there is no more excuse to consume food like
Mighty O - organic, dairy-free, donuts.
Your family may be over consuming too much of carbohydrate in the form of french fries,patotoe, pasta, bread, sugar, pizza, white flour,sweet and etc. In fact, A ketogenic diet (pure meat) is probably one of the most effective/aggressive weight loss diets in the world though it has its many downsides ( feeling lethagy, risk of kidney stone and etc ) and many dieters ended up gaining back the weight once they started eating carbohydrate again to combat the lethagic problem.
