Humans were meant to eat meat as a part of their diet. It's why we have canines (however small) and the need for vitamin B-12, the only amino acid you can't get from legumes.
However we aren't really supposed to have it as part of every single meal every single day. Especially before the discovery of actually being able to cook meat it was very physically tough to eat. I can't imagine it was eaten nearly as often as most people do now.
I think... I would like to eat vegetarian recipes for the most part, but occasionally having meat as well. In essence not eliminating meat and animal products from my diet but ultimately cutting them back.
I think... in order to live a healthy life without the need of supplements it is necessary to have a little bit of meat or other animal products in your diet. Vegetarians and vegans have to be especially careful with their diet to make sure they aren't malnourished (a news story comes to mind of a 12 year old girl raised by vegan parents and ended up with severe rickets). There isn't anything wrong with the lifestyle so long as you are informed but unfortunately this isn't always the case and they end up with health issues because of it.
I've actually had the opposite issue with rudeness (in that vegetarians being very rude and nasty to people who aren't). At least online...
