omnivore means we can eat meat not that we must. The American Dietetic Association - the largest organisation of qualified professionals in the field of nutrition - have this to say:

It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes.

Any companies in particular that resisted the ban?
