Meat contains:
- pathogens (bacteria)
- saturated fat
- cholesterol
- female hormones
- antibiotics, drugs and other chemicals
- haemoglobin and myoglobin, which triggers a process called nitrosation, which promotes the growth of cancer cells.
- nitrates and nitrites - well known cancer promoters.
Vegetarians are missing out on:
Food poisoning
High blood pressure
Heart attacks
Strokes
Gynocomastia (man boobs)
Some cancers, especially colon cancer.
These things are not present in all meat, and commercially produced vegetables etc. are often full of pesticides, preservatives, and other chemicals. Be aware of what you're eating.
