Dr. Ken Berry of Tennessee tells Fox News Digital why consumers with limited budgets should focus on product contents rather than reputation, arguing that certain low-cost meat products can still align with a nutrient-dense eating plan. A growing number of Americans are trying to consume more protein. Dr. Ken Berry, a physician in rural Tennessee, traces some of the trend to people reporting improved health by following meat-based diets. Each year, the International Food Information Council survey asks Americans to select the qualities that best define a healthy food. In 2025, Americans' views shifted, with "good source of protein" overtaking "fresh" as the top criterion. The survey also found that for the fifth year in a row, most Americans (70%) reported protein as the nutrient they're most trying to consume. That's up from 62% in 2021. RFK JR. CLA
