It&#x27;s interesting. There are pro meat eaters and pro animal arguments here, but none of the comments I see states the following opinion: that meat in fact contains a set proteins, fats (and vitamins? not sure) that are hard to find in that combination in other sources. So yes, it is theoretically possible to eat complete and healthy without meat. It&#x27;s also theoretically possible to put 3 chop sticks on top of each other, put them on your head and walk like that to your super market. That doesn&#x27;t mean you can do it, by adding some beans and nuts to your diet. It&#x27;s so complicated that some doctors think they can&#x27;t do it for a long time to themselves. And it&#x27;s so individual that no newspaper can tell you exactly how you specifically can compansate.<p>I don&#x27;t think I know enough about health to have an opinion, but for me it sounds just as likely as meat having no relevance to human health.<p>And although statistics sometimes trick you, I know a lot of very, very thin vegetarians&#x2F;vegans, but a lot of people with a healthy BMI who strongly advocate eating balanced (including meat, just not as much as most people do), which makes me believe that a small amount of meat may be better for human health than no meat at all.
