Nowadays, I eat based on practicality. I try to have a mostly vegetarian diet, and have recently been cutting down on my milk drinking and having soy milk more. But - I eat a burger about 2 or 3 times a week, or some other meat product. I like eggs and fish too. I think meat is great because you get such a useful mixture of amino acids in it's protein, good for building muscle and repairing my cells, soy is ok, but the estrogen-like compounds in soy might be bad for gaining muscle - which I am trying to do.
I think too high of a meat diet is bad due to fat intake and it's effects on your body making cholesterol to deal with the fat. However, too little meat or protein and you will be treating your body too badly to gain muscle and will be really skinny and weak.
I tried vegetarianism for 2 years, it was just fine, but I enjoy the meat in my diet now.
