Think of a "healthy" food. Now, imagine that is the only thing a person eats for years. Do you think this will make them healthy? Doubtful. We need a variety of foods for good health. Is a pure-sugar lollipop healthy? Most would agree that it isn't, but if you only ate one a couple times a year, I doubt there would be any ill-effects.
My point is slapping the term "healthy" or "unhealthy" on foods is meaningless without also including the concept of dosage and in relation to a healthy overall diet.

Anecdata, but Zooko (creator of ZCash, Tahoe-LAFS, and i2p contributor) has been eating nothing but meat for something like 6 years now and reportedly has incredibly good health as measured by standard and extended blood panels.
