It's a bit strange story line. You start with questioning if you could live without eating meat (replacing it with other proteins containing foods) and end up on trying to find out how to convince yourself meat would be bad for you?!? Why would it have to be bad? It's your choice if you don't want to eat it but it doesn't need to be bad...

My personal opinion is that other proteins cannot fully replace meat proteins and minerals in meat...
