Not sure how that proves "meat is unhealthy - period." This study specifically calls out red meat and processed meat. It says nothing about poultry or fish. Did you read the entire abstract?
> The association has not always been noted with red meat, and it has been absent with white meat.
So white meat is fine. Furthermore, the protein need is so great that for those over 70, restrictive recommendations should not be applied:
> Restrictive recommendations should not be applied to subjects above about 70 years of age, as the studies quoted herein did not examine this age group, and the inclusion of sufficient protein supply (e. g. in the form of meat) is particularly important in the elderly.
So, pretty obviously shown from your own source that "meat is unhealthy - period" is a false claim.
