Well, we don't actually <b>need</b> to get meat. What humans need is protein. And, while it is, indeed, possible to get all of the protein needed (meaning: the correct combination of amino acids) from purely non-meat and non-dairy sources, it's much easier for us to get the same combination by eating meat.
Just look inside your mouths. See those canine teeth in front (aka "eyeteeth")? Those are the mark of a predator- they exist purely to tear into meat; there's no reason for a purely herbivorous animal to have canine teeth. We're omnivorous- meaning that we're <b>designed</b>, more or less, to eat meat.
Not in copious amounts, mind you- vegetables, grains, etc. should make up the bulk of food a human consumes. But, for a concentrated protein wallup, meat is certainly the easiest source for an omnivore like us.
Plus, you get all sorts of fun diseases from non-Kosher stuff,
