How is anything is easier to produce that something that occurs naturally? You need several type of plants, that grows in different region around the world that doesn't grow in the same season, from all around the world to substitute meat, how is this easier than meat by any mean? meat is available everywhere, even in places where plants are not available or rarely available such as polar regions, not to mention that when you are trying to subsitute meat by eating other plants you are over consuming other components from those plants and that's can be very harmful to the body.

Fat and Cholesterol are important to the body it is vital! (too much of them might harmful but that's another story) and this is not even an argument, the same way if you over consume some plants you harm your body being in terms of sugar fat and other components.

Without a balanced diet you have a high risk of diabetes, cancer (for example being 100%vegetarian increases dramatically the risk for colorectal cancer) or heart disease, and not eating meat and trying to substitutes to them you are putting your self at risk (example for the same amount of vitamin A on meat, you need at least 6x time more vegetables that contain it)

Without plants you wouldn't be here either. Your argument is without meat we wouldn't be here, to which I reply with, without plants you wouldn't be here. You can also argue plants gave you evolution.

And ? I don't understand the whole point of you argument here, if it wasn't for meat you wouldn't be typing here this is a fact, meat kicked human evolution ( a scientific fact) and meat cannot be be easily substituted not by any mean.

Do you not see the subtition meat above? It's like you are going right over evidence and say it doesn't exist.

According to the same fallacy that you believe in, that meat is available, is the same reason why a lot of animals are extinct. Due to negligence and lack of education.

No you don't need to ingest cholesterol. It is a naturally occurring substance your body produces. Fact: Half of all men in the US will get Cardiovascular Disease. http://www.health.harvard.edu/newsweek/Understanding_Cholesterol.htm

You threw out all your credibility when you say vegetarians have a 100% increase in colorectal cancer, since they have a 39% increase of colorectal cancer and that was due to having not high enough Vitamin B12 which you can get from multivitamins. Fact: Vegetarians have a lower overall cancer risk, obesity risk, coronoary heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes:
