The vast majority of people aren't serious weightlifters and consequently don't need to eat like they are.

Given the benefits of strength training as they relate specifically to the top diseases of developed nations, they probably should eat and train.

A competitive level isn't necessary, but reaching a non-trivial level of fitness has tremendous benefits to one's health and well-being.

Like if a pill could deliver them, it would be the most profitable medication ever developed.

Yes, but it's also a significant time and money investment. The additional time and food cost of nutrition/gym membership/supplements is easily $5000/yr or more.

Time, yes. Money, no. $5k/yr to lift and eat enough protein? That's quite possibly the most insane claim I've _ever_ seen on HN.
