On the other hand you might downplay how bad can be for some people to totally eliminating meat/dairy. I know a couple of examples that had big issues with iron deficiency due to that. Pills didn't work for years, while restarting eating for a couple of months meat fixed all their health issues.
I do agree though that people eat way more than they need, but probably it is not only meat related (also sugar, carbs and others).
To be clear, you should continue to eat as much meat as you want - it's your life! There are tons of advantages to strength training and bodybuilding, and I am not trying to diminish any of that.
But what I can't agree on is that it's ethical to consume that much daily protein unless you truly need it. That level of meat consumption has very real impacts - it is literally unsustainable for a significant number of people to consume excess protein entirely from meat.
Cheers for the lecture though, I think I'll up it to 300 grams just from your comment alone.

When the billionaires give up their profits I'll trade in my single daily unsustainable chicken breast.
[0] so far the closest I've come is "perhaps in retaliation against an earlier injustice"
The idea that such intake will not fuck you up later is naive. Due to all the healthy stuff that you do with and around weightlifting your health state is most probably stellar compared to same you not doing any sport, so you build a 'health margin' or whatever we can call it. But it still fucks you up, just different parts of the body.
Unless thats how you earn money and thus have to do it, I very politely suggest moving down 2 notches in intensity (if its for women they will still adore you, if compensating for some bad childhood stuff this ain't the best solution anyway). Either add more endurance if you feel not doing enough or another sport, more endurance is anyway supremely usable in all aspects of life. But as said that's just a polite suggestion for optimizing for truly long term health.
