No it does not, as said before Animals sysnthesize amino acids plants cannot. Also Meat contains other nutrients aviable in plants at such small levels its ridiculous. (Any want to eat 300 pounds of brocoli to get 1 drumsticks worth of Dipolyathilium) Also those failures do occur in other animals, at the same rate in herbivores and carnevores. In us it comes from an exesive amount of meat (Atkins, or even less) not meat itself. In fact without animal protein the heart is weaker and more suspetiable to coronary failure.
