The Inflammatory Question: Red Meat Might Not Be So Bad for You After All
Research from the USDA/ARS Children’s Nutrition Research Center has revealed that red meat consumption may not be directly linked to inflammation, contrary to some prior studies. The team used cross-sectional data from older adults and found that after adjusting for BMI, there was no connection between red meat and inflammation markers.

The very first funding source listed in the paper says: "The study was supported by the Beef Checkoff to ACW."

The USDA has also spent over a billion dollars a year for the last thirty years to subsidize meat production: https://www.ewg.org/news-insights/news/2022/02/usda-livestock-subsidies-near-50-billion-ewg-analysis-finds
I'd take this study with a grain of salt until it was replicated by some source not directly funded by meat advocates.
