At some point I really think you need to weigh how much you want to enjoy your life versus how much time you want to spend worrying about (and depending on how much you worry, damaging) your health.

You know, it's funny. I read somewhere that cutting red meat down to twice a week was like stupendously good for the body and the environment, can't even remember where or why. So I limit my red meat to once or twice a week. As a consequence, when I eat beef it counts... and when I eat beef it's delicious.

I also try to do a meal or two a week vegetarian. It makes the vegetarianism of it all the tastier. So I can see the appeal in limiting protein rather than going vegetarian. After all, most asian societies use meat like a garnish.
