Even eating substantially less meat will have good effects on environment, health and animal welfare. Just my 2c - what do you think?
You won't be eating foods that promote diseases like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes, and you'll be eating a lot more of the foods that help prevent them.

It's about the way you cook it, you can eat a small piece of deep fried/grilled/charbroiled chicken cooked under damaged process oil everyday and you'd be down with cancer after years of consumption.
Consider the food pyramid of Udo when making a switch to vegetarian diet
Udo's Choice™ FOOD PYRAMID for Healthy People!
Many uninformed Vegetarians (mostly inspired by the china study) think that as long as one avoids fat and animal protein, they will be free of chronic diseases.
IMO, Low fat vegetarian diet is dangerous for health ( it almost ruined my health when i tried it last year ). Make it a high fat one with the right kind of fat and nutrients ( from unprocessed nuts, seeds and coconut (for the anti viral medium chain sat-fat) if you want to be a healthy vegetarian ) in combination with the Greens and complex carb for energy. Just my 2 cents.
There is a centenarian around my area that live above 100 year old, guess what is her favorite food in every meal ? traditional style of fatty pork ( that means no frying or grilling ).
Be a savvy vegetarian.
