What is now NYC had well over a million people living in it. in 1860 Most of them were poor and I doubt they ate much red meat.

Less.
Steakhouses existed, the meat was likely delivered on the hoof.
Sausages existed as a preservation method. Pemmican, jerky, ham, bacon, salt pork, salt beef were all things.
Commercially canned meat was available by 1900.
Ice has been available commercially for a few centuries, however. Prior to modern mechanical icemaking, workers would cut ice from lakes and rivers, pack it with straw, and store it in caves and ice houses.
The herds of cattle were definitely in Chicago ("Back of the Yards") before mechanical refrigeration made the move to Kansas City practical; probably other places too. Grazed out west, then driven on hoof. Rail transport in cattle cars made meat more available in the cities.

Also adding that White Castle has been basically making the same sized hamburgers since the time when home refrigerators were just becoming available, so portions were definitely smaller.

Before 1900 90% of people lived on farms so they ate meat everyday.
In the cities butcher shops got their meat from local slaughterhouses.
Eating canned meat was a life-threatening event until the first decade
of the 20th century. Meatpacking places were horribly unsanitary and
you could easily die of botulism from eating canned meat. Upton Sinclair
wrote a really good book called The Jungle that so frightened members
of Congress they passed the Food and Drug Act and cleaned up the meat
industry forever. Not to mention getting rid of things like heroin and cocaine
at the same time. It's really worthwhile to read The Jungle and realize what
life was like here just over a hundred twenty-five years ago. People were
lucky they lived to be 45 years old.

Dementia and Alzheimer's are old people's diseases. In 1900 the average lifespan in the United States was 45. People did not live long enough generally to get Dementia or heart disease. In the people that did live into their 70s and 80s yes there was dementia. I had a great-aunt that had it in the 1920s my dad says. In those days they called it your second childhood. In 1900 only 4% all the population was over age 65. Today it's 4 times that at 16%. That means in 1900 there were under 3 million people over age 65 in the US and today there are 40 million. In 1900 it wasn't a problem, today it is.
And what makes eating saturated fat even worse is when you eat it with sugar and starch, like in a Big Mac and fries. This is a lethal combination to hit your brain. The same thing happens with a big fatty steak and a baked potato loaded with butter and sour cream and bacon. Worst two things you can eat together. Then follow that with a lava chocolate cake dessert and you hit the brass ring for contributors to Alzheimer's. You don't have to believe me, they suspected this 30 and 40 years ago. But it's only been lately that the long-term studies have confirmed it.
Studies out of China have shown that people who eat fish instead of red meat have a far less chance of developing dementia and Alzheimer's. It's a fact that vegans have 70% less dementia then do meat eaters. The number one country in the world for the least dementia and Alzheimer's is India because they eat a diet high in fish intake and low on red meat. In fact most of India cows are sacred and you can't eat them.

That's right I used the microwave again as a cooking device, what it was designed for I made fish and veggies again, this time with Tilapia. So good and so easy, I love making this. I put the frozen fish in the bottom of a large bowl sprinkled liberally with McCormick Montreal seasoning. Pour the frozen vegetables on top and liberally mix in Montreal seasoning. Put a ceramic dinner plate on top heavy enough to make a seal yet not tight enough to let steam build up. Cook it for 15 minutes on high and dinner is done.
I love McCormick Montreal Seasoning. It's good on everything you use salt on. It makes everything you put it on taste better including fish and vegetables. 0 calories or carbs. Has lots of black and red pepper and garlic in it.

Where are you getting your numbers? They are so far off that you can't be using a good source.
There are not fourteen million Americans over 65. There are over forty million.
You said 10% of the population lived in cities in 1900 when the US Census says it was 40%.
You really need to find better sources.

Professional hikers hang their food high off the ground at night or they use bear boxes at the camping sites to keep the smell of food away from the bears. Earlier this year a woman hiker out west was cooking and eating and storing her food in her tent at night. Cooking and eating in your tent is a very big No-No let alone storing your food there. Somebody told her about this so she started hanging her food at night but the smell from her cooking and eating in the tent was so strong the bear killed her, A bear can smell cooking food a great distance away and can even smell lingering odors in your tent days later. In Grizzly territory hikers carry their food in round plastic bear canisters with screw on lids. The cartoon character Yogi the Bear in Jellystone Park is no joke, bears are just like that cartoon character. Except the cartoon character did not eat people and grizzly bears do.

They don't come around when it's smoky they come around at night. Cooked food and people food is no part of their diet but the flavors are so concentrated that they love it. They would much rather eat a bag of Oreos or a bag of Doritos then anything they find in the wild. It's a huge carbohydrate boost for them and that's what they crave. Bears are omnivores they will eat anything. They prefer human food when they can get it.

Not that there’s anything wrong with salt (you need it to survive), but people living on processed food can easily eat three times their recommended daily intake without ever touching a salt shaker

Turns out eating right is a big part of the new studies of dementia and Alzheimer's. It mostly involves getting rid of butter, red meat, sugar, cheese, fried food from your diet. Getting rid of the saturated fat that can cause plaque to form in your brain. Mixing sugar with the saturated fat is a real game-changer. This pretty much eliminates most fast food and pizza from your life. Eating this lifestyle should be done at any age not just if you're over 50. Here is a sample menu.
Monday
Breakfast: Greek yogurt with raspberries, topped with sliced almonds.
Lunch: Mediterranean salad with olive-oil-based dressing, grilled chicken, whole-wheat pita.
Dinner: Burrito bowl with brown rice, black beans, fajita vegetables, grilled chicken, salsa and guacamole.
Tuesday
Breakfast: Wheat toast with almond butter, scrambled eggs.
Lunch: Grilled chicken sandwich, blackberries, carrots.
Dinner: Grilled salmon, side salad with olive-oil-based dressing, brown rice.
Wednesday
Breakfast: Steel-cut oatmeal with strawberries, hard-boiled eggs.
Lunch: Mexican-style salad with mixed greens, black beans, red onion, corn, grilled chicken and olive-oil-based dressing.
Dinner: Chicken and vegetable stir-fry, brown rice.
Thursday
Breakfast: Greek yogurt with peanut butter and banana.
Lunch: Baked trout, collard greens, black-eyed peas.
Dinner: Whole-wheat spaghetti with turkey meatballs and marinara sauce, side salad with olive-oil-based dressing.
Friday
Breakfast: Wheat toast with avocado, omelet with peppers and onions.
Lunch: Chili made with ground turkey.
Dinner: Greek-seasoned baked chicken, oven-roasted potatoes, side salad, wheat dinner roll.
Turns out the old adage that you are what you eat is basically true. I eat fish everyday sometimes twice a day and a hard boiled egg everyday and nuts every day and chicken at least twice a week. I eat two kinds of fruit and three or four veggies everyday. So I have been on this diet without even knowing it. Because I'm Keto I obviously don't eat any of the grain products but I do eat low-carb bread.

Turns out the old adage that you are what you eat is basically true. I eat fish everyday sometimes twice a day and a hard boiled egg everyday and nuts every day and chicken at least twice a week. I eat two kinds of fruit and three or four veggies everyday. So I have been on this diet without even knowing it. Because I'm Keto I obviously don't eat any of the grain products but I do eat low-carb bread.

This should be posted in the thread “What did you eat every day this week for breakfast, lunch and dinner”Quote: EvenBobTurns out eating right is a big part of the new studies of dementia and Alzheimer's. It mostly involves getting rid of butter, red meat, sugar, cheese, fried food from your diet. Getting rid of the saturated fat that can cause plaque to form in your brain. Mixing sugar with the saturated fat is a real game-changer. This pretty much eliminates most fast food and pizza from your life. Eating this lifestyle should be done at any age not just if you're over 50. Here is a sample menu.

Saturated fat combined with sugar, again!? It’s the sugar and junk/fast food that’s the problem, not the saturated fat. An 80/20 grass fed burger (maybe add some grass fed butter to the pan and top with Swiss cheese) can be a very healthy, nutritious meal as long as you avoid the garbage add-ons like fries cooked in artificial oil, big white hamburger bun, special sauce/ketchup loaded with high fructose corn syrup, and a large coke with six times your daily limit of sugar
It’s all about making that GTA

No, it's the saturated fat. When you combine it with sugar and carbohydrate it just makes it worse. It's the saturated fat that's at the center of it.
"In a study of more than 1,200 people, researchers show that individuals with higher levels of saturated fats in their blood are more likely to develop dementia, including Alzheimer's disease.. Scientists had already begun to link higher dietary saturated fat intake to higher risk of dementia and cognitive decline, but this study is one of the first to use blood tests in such a large number of people in order to understand the link between diet and later brain health.. This new work helps confirm that saturated fats—found in many foods, including butter, cheese, red meat, and coconut oil—are best consumed in moderation when it comes to dementia risk and also overall health.

I wish these report summaries were more quantitative. Is the added risk (on average) of Alzheimer's greater than 2X? Or 20% higher or <5% higher?
If I need to minimize carbs and sugar/glucose (diabetes-2) and unsaturated fats (cancer risk elevator) and saturated fats (Alzheimer's risk elevator) then there's not much left to eat.
Is salmon and other fish/seafood okay? Green vegetables? Fruits? Legumes? Nuts? Chicken? Turkey? Non-green vegetables? What else?
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.
