My wife needs to eat red meat, otherwise she has very low iron levels.

Note: she does not like red meat, and we spent years and years trying to get her iron levels up without it. She started to have to get iron infusions, which are no fun at all.

All that stopped when she started eating red meat twice a week.

Yes, this is a very rare case, and I can imagine a future where red meat is provided as something like medicine for those few who really need it.

But some people do effectively need red meat.
