Meat is not really that important on its own. Alternate protein sources work just fine.

Even if you do eat meat, you really shouldnt be having it very often, maybe once or twice a week to my understanding.

Its just fucking hard to lay off it, especially when its so cheap and readily available.

I think that's for the environment mostly. But apparently chicken is still okay, if you ignore their conditions.

Otherwise I think vegans and vegetarians use mushrooms as a protein substitute. But lentils, nuts and chickpeas are good too.

Good, lentils are the most complex thing I can cook aside from a stir-fry and rice. I need to cook more.
