I'm inclined to agree with you, in terms of diet optimization following what our diets would "naturally" be, but then in terms of meat, we need both much leaner meats, and in smaller quantity than we tend to consume in the west to revert back to a pre-agriculture diet.
It's funny when people use the argument that meat consumption is natural to justify 3 meals a day of fatty red meat.
