The vegetarian Indian people I've also known didn't seem to be malnourished.
Although I think it is perfectly fine for meat to be affordable, Americans over-consume meat in major proportions that are not at all healthy for us.

Generally speaking, the only time a person will be allergic to meat (especially two different types of meat) would be environmental, rather than simply being allergic to meat of the animal... Poorly prepared, poorly sourced, or poorly reared animals.
(There are obviously SOME exceptions... there always are.)
Whereas plant matter can simply be indigestible, to many people.
