I have to wonder what people are seeking with threads like this. The benefits of eating meat are completely common knowledge. It is a rich source of protein, fats, iron and other substances. Many people feel great eating meat and can not achieve the same level of well being with other sources of protein. I don't really know why but it's true and I'm one of them.
Of course there are drawbacks to eating meat but you are looking for the argument for eating it. It's been said 10 million times but it is worth repeating. Eat what makes you feel right. Obviously eating red meat every day is going to become problematic. Integrating meat in small portions into meals here and there is seriously not going to cause you health problems so long as you have a balanced diet. Clearly avoiding meats filled with antibiotics and hormones is certainly preferable as well. Fish is a great meat all around. Omega-3's are great for you and can even help with depression.
When you start getting so caught up in your diet to the point that you need to start reviewing study after study, I believe you begin to lose sight of what living a healthy balanced life is all about.
