Not American myself, but I can think of a few factors besides meat:

  • less stress
  • less polution
  • less processed food, be it meat or not
  • less sugar
  • less sedentary lifestyle
  • genes

Nutrition alone won't get you to 100. Having a diverse diet keeps ypu healty, but there are many factors that impact health. I do agree that meat is overused in general population, but can't really force the vegan/vegetarian lifestyle onto an omnivore specie.
