Uhm, wrong, very wrong. I had a teach who was allergic to poultry, pork and fish. I have also known (perfectly healthy) vegetarians who would get extremely sick if they ate meat. It is completely likely that there is a number of people who are allergic to all manners of meat. There are plenty of plant-based proteins, which is the main nutrition we get from meat. 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.
