Animal foods are good for you, but only up to a point. Beyond that point, they are just plain harmful and you don't need them in your diet anymore.

Think of a vegetarian diet in the sense of both fruits and vegetables. That means all that you need to look out for are products and foods from animals. Anything else is good enough to indulge. Just see to it that you get them properly balanced. The beauty is that your health will be the better for it, as is the case with most vegetarians.
