    Abstract
    Background: Now that humans have access to an extreme abundance of food and create our own factory and lab made food, the debate of what is the healthiest diet for us is always debated. New dietary guidelines are recommended by governments and doctors every few years. There are many diets people take on these days. When chronic disease is so common in society today, diet recommendations must have gone wrong. Objective: This study aims to disprove the notion that red meat is bad for you and should be eliminated from people's diets. The study also aims to show that a diet that consists mostly of Animal-based foods is essential and can be used to optimize health. Design and Method: The research method is a peer-reviewed literature search for other studies that have studied red meat, nutrition, and diet. The research that was done is qualitative. The effects of not eating meat and other animal foods, the carnivore diet, and the nutrients of red meat have been researched to answer the research questions. The main research questions are: What is the optimal human diet? Why is red meat deemed unhealthy and is it unhealthy? What happens when you do not eat animal-based foods? How has society been misled on diet? What effects does eating mostly meat have on chronic diseases? Results: A diet that consists of only or mostly meat was found to have great health benefits and little negative effects in one study. In another study, the lack of nutrients from not consuming animal-based foods was shown to be detrimental for pregnant Women and their babies. Bones of Vegans and Vegetarians were shown to be significantly weaker than meat-eaters. Red meat consumption was not shown to be associated with cardiovascular disease and mortality. Conclusions: Diet is the most important aspect of health. Many diets have their benefits, and most people will be fine and healthy on them. If one wants to thrive and lower the risk of chronic disease, a diet with mostly meat and fruit is what should be taken on. Humans absorb all the nutrients, minerals, and more from these foods alone. This study observed that red meat is not the unhealthy food it is claimed to be by doctors and mainstream health experts and without animal-based foods, malnourishment is inevitable.
