Man, all of this talk about not eating meat is making me hungry. Where's the beef? Rare, please.

Actually most Westerners do not get enough protein in their diets, although they could if they wanted to.
One more thing: Plant protein is lower-quality
Therefore, I personally believe eating vegan is not very smart from a nutritional point of view. You can debate about red meat as much as you want, but even vegetarians often say they can eat the way they do because of eggs and dairy. I don't see any rational reasons not to eat dairy (a cup of cottage cheese before bed will do wonders). It is very high-quality protein, too.
