The study is about plant-based diets, not "vegetarian food."
I don't have access to the article, so I'm not sure what they define as a plant-based diet, but Harvard defines them as a diet focused mostly on plants, not one that omits meat (vegetarian) and/or animal products completely (Vegan).
I wouldn't argue a diet based around plants is more healthy than one that is not, but I wouldn't generalize and say vegetarian (read: no meat) is more healthy than one that does involve meat.
> How is "marginally more healthy _at_ best" defined?
Just comparing the nutritional values between 4oz of beef vs 4oz of Beyond Meat.
