Nope. Eating too much (of certain kinds) is and many people eat too much, same with junk food meats. Don't get me wrong, there are good reasons not to eat meat but none of them involve health. Health is just about balance and varied, in the right ways, which can just as easily involve meat as not.
This is not an easy topic.
It will take weeks and weeks of research to understand the answer.
The whole notion of "healthy foods" is a very queer one to start with.
Meat can be a part of a optimally healthy diet however.

Yes, you can live perfectly fine without meat. I've never eaten it and at 24 I am still entirely healthy.
That said focusing on optimal tends not to be mentally healthy. You don't want to get too caught up on being healthy all the time.
If it seems like a big change then break it down into smaller ones. Learn more recipes, learn what food is out there. There's nobody timing you or marking your progress or some right way to do it. Set a goal like eat no meat til lunch or eat no meat at dinner 2 days a week or cook a new recipe every weekend. Once you've done that one you set another one and get there in your own time.

Yeah thats true. Im not a huge meat fan anyway. I do like some fish though, I think it would be harder for em to give up salmon, prawns, tuna etc.
What are some particularly calorie dense foods? I know peanut butter, oats, nuts etc
Thnks for the advice
Eating too much of anything is unhealthy.
Including meat. So if you eat meat in decent sized quantities and not too often then you're fine.
In fact it's recommended that you have a balanced diet so that means you should be including meat, vegetables, dairy etc.. in at least one of your meals throughout the week.

I do semi-pro bodybuilding and so eat anywhere between 3-5 chicken breasts per day alongside 4-8 eggs. I'm fine, on the outside at least lol.
Doesn't affect me mentally and meat tastes awesome too.

Meat can be bad for us, but it can also be a part of a healthy diet.
Processed meat, such as sausages and salami, isn't really good for you. Lean meats, such as chicken and fish, are better for your health. Ensure that you have fish twice a week, and have one meat free day a week. Stick to that and you can enjoy meat and have a healthy diet.

Meat itself is not inherently unhealthy. It's a healthy part of a balanced diet, depending on exactly what type of meat you're eating. As with any food, it is unhealthy if you eat too much of it.
Its good for your soul
