"We may need meat, but we don't need meat in every meal"

Is it still a common belief that we 'need meat'? I thought it was well established that humans in normal health do not _need_ meat to thrive - especially with our current technology and industry. We can easily meet all of our nutritional needs without any animal flesh.

I agree we don't need to eat meat, and I'm a vegetarian, but I'm around... 80% sure.

I'd rather use the less-strong statement I need to make a point. It is still a common belief that not eating meat is in some way less healthy, because plants have lower-quality proteins.
