The definition depends on what authority is doing the defining. For example, according to the USDA, all animal-based protein that isn't seafood is red meat.

This is important because when your doctor tells you to cut out red meat, they are not necessarily using the culinary or gastronomic definitions of 'red meat'.

USDA is not biology. Biology rules. If the FDA says that something is not a food that's not good science. No gov agency can long act outside of natural events in existence.

If they do it too wrong, people can get hurt.
