Double good.
It's healthy for a lot of people, but not everyone's bodies work exactly the same way and for some, it's very difficult to get the right nutrients without meat or dairy produce (especially for children, it's vital to their development). A lot of these people don't know that. There are some people who genuinely would find it very difficult to survive just living on salad.
I think there's certainly a good argument (for our health, environmental health and relieving world hunger) for everyone eating a lot less meat than we currently consume. But for some people, going full vegan or even just vegetarian isn't an option.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
