When someone in Japan says "meat", they're almost always referring to beef, specifically.
Also, good cuts of meat in Japan are extremely expensive, so pretty much all of it is the low-grade (i.e. fatty and gristly) stuff. Thus, "ordering a lot of meat" = "eating a lot of fat" = "kiss your diet goodbye".
Even if that's true she should be more culturally sensitive! Consuming frankly unhealthy amounts of beef is a proud American tradition! The staff is just making sure he enjoys the full American experience of gross overindulgence and resulting obesity!
Actually, a lot of the Family Restaurants here in Japan have portions that rival American ones. It's just easier to get smaller portions and diet-friendly food in Japan.
Never seen beef in a salad. Chicken, yes, but not beef.
