You don't need meat at all. Meat is a comfort food. Don't worry about b12, you can find it mushrooms, nutritional yeast, supplements. in the past we'd get it from fungus, etc. You can get all the nutrients you need from a whole foods plant based diet. No one need ever get heart disease or stroke, simply switch to a whole foods/plant based diet. Animals get their protein from plants. Eating meat is just eating recycled proteins. If you want to get high quality original protein, you need to eat meat. Vegetables and Beans are extremely high in protein (over 15% of calories come from protein!).

The media has brain washed us into thinking that we need vast amounts of protein. You actually only need 5%, according to the WHO. I know some countries will say 10%. In any case, It's almost impossible to not get enough protein from plant based whole foods.
