Answers:
If you really are curious you should read a book called the China Study. Read all about it here: http://thechinastudy.com
It goes over many studies that conclude that animal protein causes diseases like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. And they're not studies done by weird special interest groups but by major universities and reputable researchers. The author (professor of nutrition at Cornell) started out advocating animal proteins. By the time the studies were done he gave them up and decided he had to get the word out since no one else was sharing the results. Very compelling stuff.
Here's details of the actual China Study (but do read the book - it goes over more thn just this study):
