For real, though. You don’t have to adopt a vegetarian diet if you don’t want to, but don’t be an idiot and claim that you need meat or even dairy for protein because you don’t. Please. I beg of you.

Absolutely, I do not need animal proteins as in there is no possible way to survive in a healthy fashion without it. However animal fat and proteins have been a part of humanoid diets for a very long time. Just as there is no need for animal proteins, there is no need to avoid it.
