I was under the impression that forefoot striking is actually more efficient as the body is continually in a “forward falling” position, your legs do not land angled in front of you requiring your knees to absorb the shock, and you better utilize the elastic potential of your leg’s tendons.
Don’t a lot of marathon runners forefoot strike? Seems like they’re athletes that would be looking for the most efficient running techniques.

The meat isn’t why those people are overweight though. It’s correlation, not causation. If a person eats a meat only diet, more than likely they’ll reduce body fat and gain muscle mass due to the macros they are consuming. It’s all the easy calories and lack of exercise that makes so many people overweight.
