I am not 400lbs... I don't know if you are implying that... if so check your math:

1.2g/kg * 90kg (~200lbs-lean) = 108g of protein.

each person, on average, in the US would be eating one 16oz steak or 3-5 hamburgers every day.

A 16oz steak is over 50% protein, or over double your entire daily target. Hamburger count could be right, if you are eating McDonald's burgers or similar. But then you are not following the guidelines, with far too much processed grains and added sugars.
