Meat is necessary for a healthy life
However, too much of a good thing can and will be unhealthy--that includes eliminating meats entirely.
Moderation is the important thing. Back in the pre-industrial days meat was as much a luxury as a necessity; you ate what you hunted or grew yourself. Today's economy of 'meat manufacture' not only eliminates the healthy aspects of free-range animals but also injects them with drugs and antibiotics that make that meat unhealthy in the long run. Add to this the Western society's propensity to eat far more meat and fewer vegetables is merely a part of the obesity epidemic. Add to this certain artificially-processed grains used as sweeteners and fillers and we have industry killing their own customers.
Can we change this? Maybe. But outlawing the use of meat in entirety is in the long run going to exacerbate the issue, not eliminate it.
