Phillip, when I wrote the original post I did think of
you and your microwaved meats. I don't know. I have
tried microwaving meats in the past and they never
seemed to turn out right. Maybe I did something wrong?

Anyway, I think I'll stick to searing or lightly
BBQing my meats.

True enough. But when the various authors mention
variety, I don't think they are talking about
quantity. But, of course having a wide variety of
foods available does not guarantee that anyone would
eat all of them.
