While there is halachic support for meat meals on Yom Tov, there are also great rabbis who have advocated becoming vegetarians, including Chaim Zundel Maccoby, the Kamenitzer Maggid; Rabbi David Cohen “The Nazir”, his son Rabbi Shear Yashuv Cohen, his son in law Rabbi Shlomo Goren; and current UK Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, all themselves vegetarians. Rav Kook also advocated vegetarianism.
It is not so simple. Rabbi Avigdor Miller was once asked if it is permitted to be a vegetarian. He answered that if you are doing it for health/mrdical reasons, tthen okay. But if you are doing it to protect the animals then “your an apikoros and hate the Torah.”
I heard this from my father, who heard it directly from Rabbi Miller.
