A recently published study claiming that meat eating is causal for longer lives actually shows no such thing.
Corn chips walking: How the overuse of corn in animal agriculture is devastating our environment
Animal agriculture has turned humans into massive consumers of corn, doing enormous damage in the process. It doesn’t have to be so. We can stop eating animal products.

Pimentel reports that over just the last four decades of the 20th century, some 30% of the world’s arable land became unproductive. Half of the topsoil in the breadbasket of North America has been lost since 1900.
New science shows immense promise for rescuing ourselves
The authors find that widespread adoption of vegan diets would be – again, by far – the most effective approach.
