Don't humans have to eat meat to stay healthy?

Absolutely not. Both the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the American Dietetic Association have endorsed vegetarian diets. On the contrary, studies have shown that vegetarians have stronger immune systems than meat-eaters and that meat-eaters are almost twice as likely to die of heart disease, 60 percent more likely to die of cancer, and 30 percent more likely to die of other diseases. The consumption of animal products has been conclusively linked with diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, clogged arteries, obesity, asthma, and impotence as well.
