In a way i think our human anatomy and physiology is such that we need both plant as well as animal products for a proper and balanced nutrition, and that is where the vegetarian population gets into trouble...they omit meat and meat products. And thereby they have to depend totally on plant products for their entire dietary requirements which often lead to faulty and unhealthy food habits ultimately leading to disease.

For example vit b12 can be easily obtained by having a proper non veg meal. Vegetarian meal often lacks it and thereby many of the strict vegetarians suffer from megaloblastic anemia.
