Without meat ard other animal praducts many simply can't consume enough complete protein. Plant proteins apart from hemp are limited in their amino acid profile. Milk, meat and egg are staples for good reason
Soy and quinoa both have all essential amino acids. And you can also combine different grains to get all essential amino acids.
If everything went vegan we'd need only 25% of the farms we currently have. So we can do fine without meat, and the planet will thank us.
