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.

This also applies 100% to the state of nutritional science:

I can say with certainty that all the claims made about food nutrition might be true, but the research simply isn’t properly methodized to support it.

it's actually a tragic state for the academy. no reproducible studies. bad methodology. and everyone citing each other uncritically. it would be nice to have good data on ecology and nutrition, but everyone is so focused on just getting the paper out that no one is trying to advance the science.

Indeed, throw in some philosophical motivations and we the modern literature. In nutrition we see people outside the normal western academic circles doing studies and collecting data not aligned with the previous zeitgeists - so there is hope the literature will start to have meaningful impact going forward.
