It's worth noting that the correlation held for total red meat consumption along with considering just processed red meats and unprocessed red meat separately

There are certainly some limitations of this study but it does align with the growing body of evidence suggesting a potential link between any red meat consumption and type 2 diabetes

In other words people who choose not to eat meat are generally not overweight. Shock

They also account for weight in the study, the association is still there after that's accounted for
