> On average, people in the US have a high-protein diet relative to the rest of the world.

A problem with this statement is that you're assuming the average is applicable in a uniformly distributed manner. People who are obese (or morbidly obese) and in the lower income quartile could consume little to no protein, and still you could have a higher protein content in Americans' diets. On average.

Assuming the opposite doesn't get us any closer to finding the truth.
