Meat has a bad reputation. Most people think of meat, especially red meat, as dangerously unhealthy. However, meat has unique properties that make it more nutritious, easier to digest, and less likely to irritate your body than vegetables. Does the science behind meat-phobia hold up under the microscope?

TLDR - Yes, meat is healthy - eat it.

combined lca data

What does LCA mean here?

People are mixing estimates with different methodologies and assumptions? That doesn't seem very scholarly

life cycle assessment. if you read the references in poore-nemecek 2018, you will find that they didn't even gather the studies themselves. they are doing a meta study of meta studies. when you read their sources, those papers talk explicitly about the problem of combining disparately methodized study data, but then go on to do so. poore-nemecek doesn't even acknowledge this faux pas.

Ahh meta-meta-analysis! That makes sense - something we see used in nutrition too frequently

Unrelated, but since you appear to be well read - can you recommend papers on red meat ecology and sustainability? It's not a area i've read with any depth, but I am curious.

Another open vexation I have is what a sustainable plant based farm with no animal inputs or fertilizer inputs would look like, if it's even possible. From what I could gather it's not doable with no examples (they import fertilizer)

I really can't recommend any papers. I don't trust any of them that make strong claims one way or another.
