I don't think that's the narrative. The narrative is factory farmed meat & dairy is not good for you, not good for the people working in that industry and it's not good for our biosphere, e.g. deforestation, pollution etc. And of course it's absolutely bad for the animals involved, but most people don't care about animal welfare or don't even think about it. If people must eat meat for whatever reason then the healthiest option would be to hunt or raise & kill your animals or buy from people who do, but it also comes with the associated price tag.
