For example, vegetables are generally healthier than meat because they contain more nutrients, less fats e.t.c. Why do certain food categories have properties that make them healthier than others?

I want to emphasize “healthy” is subjective.
Lifestyle, climate, and state of your health will define healthy. In our modern day, mostly sedentary lifestyle begs for less-caloric, more vitamin and nutrition dense food. Fruits and vegetable with some protein fits the bill better here.
However if you are living in more food scarce society (idk west Africa for example), fatty meat, vegetables, and butter/oil is healthy choice for you.
If you were living in ice age, you’d need to consume more caloric food to make up for expended energy just to keep your body temperature normal.
I’m general, fruits and vegetables are most common healthy food because they are rich in vitamins and trace elements you need like iodine, beryllium etc
