Vegetarian

I love beef and pork and chicken.
one hundred fifty years ago, Japanese people did not have custome to eat any meat.
i only eat vegetable and fish. As far as I heard that people believed that if people eat meat people become that animal.
So many Japanese dishes only use fish and vegetable. After Japanese people started to eat meat, Japanese people gradually become taller and healthier.
Some people said vegetarian food is healthier than eating meat.
Is it true?

I am not sure if I become vegetarian, I can keep my health.
I decided to eat vegetarian food for a month until i get to home.
