Maybe true, but my instinct says probably not true. "High Quality Diet" is the reason. Maybe the "High Quality" by itself is enough :)

Yes, and the press release makes no mention of this extra context -- hardly good journalism.

Also red meat is a luxury and if you can eat it regularly that means you're doing well economically, that most likely correlates with good healthcare access and a higher level lifestyle, which very much is correlated with better mental health.

This is bit like saying people with expensive cars have less cavities. That doesn't mean driving a luxury car somehow benefits your teeth, its just if you can afford a $100k car, you probably can afford regular checkups and good teeth care.
