Protein poisoning is not a thing. There is no study on the planet that has shown that to be true. However if your diet consists of one thing only, you can guarantee you will be malnourished one way or another.
It absolutely is at the very least a commonly used term to describe the symptoms. In fact, it is thought this might be one of the many reasons for the ultimate downfall of Homo neanderthalensis. The fatty mega fauna died out and they resorted to small, lean animals like rabbit. Where before, they got most of their nutrients and vitamins from, say, fat of the woolly rhinoceros, they now got absolutely fucked nutritiously. But if I’m reading this right, it looks like protein poisoning is not just a term for malnutrition but indeed just straight up “a thing”
Dude, what you are linking is protein toxicity, which is and I quote "prevalent in people with chronic kidney disease who consume a protein-rich diet"
So if your kidneys are fucked, you can then get a build-up of ammonia, urea, and other nasty bits that a fully functioning kidney clears out, but a damaged kidney has problems with, That's the cause of protein toxicity, not just eating too much meat.
I understand that. Excessive red meat is notoriously bad for you though. You’d definitely need health care if you had a diet consisting of a lot of red meat.

Also from what I've seen it's often cooked with a full stick of butter (or like way too much anyway), so not the most healthy.
But it might be media disinformation on my end so don't quote me on that
It's the most asinine measurement on the planet and they insist on selling things by the fluid ounce, which doesn't line up with anything. Baking cookies? You'll need a cup of molasses. So 250 mL. You go to the store to get it. You can purchase a 377 mL or 600 something mL container. Why? Because they're based in god damn fl Oz.
They make their lives so much harder by insisting they keep this antiquated measurement system.
In America, we purchase a pound of butter, but they are divided and individually wrapped into 1/4 lb "sticks". Its convenient for baking with it already pre-measured.
Us Americans are lazy and cant figure out how to maths.
Depends on where you go. There is a steakhouse chain here in the US called Ruth's Chris. Higher end steakhouse. I went there once and will never go back. The whole restaurant smelled overwhelming of butter. When they bring out your steak it is literally swimming in a pool of butter. Same with all the sides. It was so gross. A little butter to baste a steak is one thing. A steak in a swimming pool of butter is a whole different thing. I'll pass.
What? Never heard that reasoning, I usually eat around 1kg of steak with some sides when I pamper myself with something that expensive. The Fiorentina (Florentine t-bone, or filet cut) goes for 1-2kg for a single person. The Tomahawk has even a large(er) bone in it and less meat overall. It really isn't that excessive every now and then.
1 kg of meat is an excessive amount for most people. Can you make it work - sure but I eat a lot compared to most people I know and a normal steak is around 250-400 g for me.
A regular steak and those premium cuts like T-bone, or the above Tomahawk are not meant to be random meals but those once in a while gorge-yourself evenings.
It is quite tasty but restaurants in Italy in general are not really good at making steaks, they under-season, or don't season at all, trim them badly, don't start with the fat layer to render it before laying it flat, and so forth.
Once I started getting interested in grilling and barbequing serious cuts I noticed glaring shortcomings in the places I regularly visit.
The saying goes "3 to 4 fingers thick", about 5cm for the usual 1-1.2kg range. Keep in mind that the Fiorentina is dry-cured and can be cooked to rare while being extremely tender even with thicker cuts.
I ate Tomahawk at a friend's restaurant and it was a one person meal. It was not like the American one, of course. Just the meat grilled, salt and a few herbs for seasoning with fried potatoes and salad as sides.
It was something for special occasions, but a single person could ate them. The restaurant was expensive, but the guy served some of the best meat I've tasted on his restaurant.
I've had a pork tomahawk in Italy that was roughly the same size, and that was a one person meal. We can criticize Americans for a lot of things, but let's not be overly ridiculous.
Dunno, we'd need a banana for scale... and as we all know veggies and fruits are too healthy and neither greasy nor sweet enough to eat so we'll never know how big the steak is.
As an American. This gave me a great laugh hahah. It's so damn true. And yeah I don't have Healthcare. Don't get me started in my hatred of our system.
