It's notable when countering the statement "Meat has no upsides." That's just plain incorrect. I have respect for vegans and vegetarians who are concerned about animal welfare and recognize my own hypocrisy for buying into the factory farming horror industry, but exaggerating isn't necessary.
Presumably you only care about vitamins, omega 3, etc for the upside of health. The outcomes dont support eating red meat for health and those nutrients are more easily gotten elsewhere. So functionally theres no upside.
A lot of food we know isnt good for longterm health has the upside of protein, vitamins, society shifts around which ones get their upsides considered.
But its fair if this granularity is relevant to you and Id preface my original statement with where Im coming from.
