It's better to just only eat healthy meats. Fish and bird. Some very occasional pork. Never red meat (such as beef).
You are right...some people just don't do we'll without meat. And as you say if you eat healthy meat it should not do any harm. I think the problems start when we eat lots of sausages and burgers etc. I feel that the worst things in our modern diet are very refined foods such as white flour, white sugar and hydrogenated fats.
I prefer chicken, salmon and Trout. But here we have also mackerel (or how you Write it in English) in tomato saus. That is a REAL stinker and I have avoided it up to now. But very popular here in Norway. But now I have figured out it is not so bad. I can eat hamburger without breat at home, but never buy at McDonalds. If I make chicken wok, then I have sauce, but otherwise have might use som ketchup With my chicken. Not too much. Never liked beef, so I never buy that. But a total slave to bread. I think it must be hard to be a healthy vegetarian too. I think that might requires some studying. And fond of milk. Milk is not good for you blah blah they tell me. Well, I need the calsium, and boring to take it only as a supplement. That's how much I know about how to get calsium. Impressive huh??
If you are interested in getting calcium from other sources apart from dairy products why don't you look at the Vegan Society site. They will explain what foods contain calcium.
In fact it is a myth that we need dairy products, as milk is a food designed for babies. Humans are the only animal who's adults consume milk. And the dairy that most of us eat is designed to build strong adult cows.
Asian people who eat their traditional diet do not consume dairy and they do not have the high incidences of osteoporosis that dairy eating people have.
Will it matter in 10minutes, 10hrs, 10days, 10weeks, 10months, 10years.
