The meat you eat to get protein has high levels of cholesterol. Cholesterol blocks your blood veins and causes heart and circulatory issues. Normally this wouldn't be an issue at all. However since most Americans eat over 3 times the normal amount of meat they should, it is.

Actually, the scaring and inflammation of blood vessels is caused by over consumption of sugars. If I recall correctly, the cholesterol is used to repair that damage which is why there may be a build up in one spot.

The point is still valid
Meat tastes good.

Animals belong in my stomach; I'd hate to upset the balance of nature.

But it isn't.

You are mistaken. Here's the shortest and most elementary overview of the topic I can recommend:

http://www.choosemyplate.gov/tipsresources/vegetarian_diets.html

It's true that there are fewer sources of some forms of nutrition on a meatless diet, if only because of the fact that you can't get that nutrition from meat. This doesn't mean you have to eat a plate of soybeans with every meal.

A balanced diet requires equal amounts of effort and planning regardless of your nutrition sources, and a vegetarian diet is no more difficult than having a diet with meat in it.

I imagine that the perception that a vegetarian diet is more difficult to have than a diet with meat in it is because most people making this argument are just used to shoveling food in their mouth and not actually paying attention to what they eat. Yes, you do need to plan out a vegetarian diet to make sure you're getting enough nutrition. You are also supposed to do this with a diet with meat in it too. Neither is more difficult than the other since there are plenty of sources of nutrition from both plants or meats.

I wonder... if there were any meat-eating dinosaurs that said :

"Wait, i'm like, hurting the lil' dinosaurs when I bite into their neck and stuff.  I'ma eat only trees n' stuff because it's wrong to hurt the lil' bros."

...then, because any dinosaur who would do this is obviously dilusional, (and incredibly intelligent), he hears the plants shriek in pain as well.
