Its a meal we are "designed" to love.
Eating salad is good for you but your body knows it can't sustain you without more proteins and fats.
No humans are not "built" to eat fat and proteins found in meat. That is pure nonsense.
With regards to your rib eye and baked potato supposedly being "about as good as it gets" you couldn't be more incorrect. The enzymes needed to break down meat in your stomach, as opposed to starches like those found in potatoes, come from two entirely different groups. These two groups fight and clash against one another for digestion when a human mixes proteins and starches together. When these two groups oppose it creates indigestion and lack of absorption of proper vitamins and minerals. THAT is the reason you claim to feel satisfied after eating a meal like that, and also the reason you feel "full and content" for so long after doing so. It's because your body can't even properly digest what it just ate. You boys need to do some basic dietary research.
If one insists on eating animal flesh as their desired source of protein, then it should only be eaten with greens. A nice salad, green beans, broccoli, collards, spinach sauteed in garlic and olive oil, etc. The supposedly classical American "meat and potatoes" diet is one of the worst things you can do for your body. Hamburger and fries, steak and baked potato is old school and literally ignorant.
