Apparently that news story is based on this article, which links to a university study, which just sort of blindly guesses at how the country could reach biden's emissions reduction target by 2030 target.

Americans may have to cut their red meat consumption by a whopping 90 percent and cut their consumption of other animal based foods in half.

Gradually making those changes by 2030 could see diet-related greenhouse gas emissions reduced by 50 percent, according to a study by Michigan University's Center for Sustainable Systems.

To do that, it would require Americans to only consume about four pounds of red meat per year, or 0.18 ounces per day.

It equates to consuming roughly one average sized burger per month.

It's a ridiculous what if, but it is touching on a very real concern which is that the target he is setting is practically impossible without some pretty drastic changes to the country, but we won't know what those are until the details of the plan are released.
