Taoists aren't vegetarians. They are frugal meats, but don't abolish them. They do, however, incorporate increased amounts of fruits, veggies, seeds and nuts in their diet.

Anyway, they follow such an organized diet regime because taoists regard the diet as extremely important to their physical, mental, and spiritual being. Taoists also believe that different foods have different amounts of chi in them. Basically they follow their diet to maintain and regulate balance.
