Neither does Cannabis. Clearly, you haven't done your research...
Okay, I have had this argument a lot, and I'm quite sick of it. I'm not going to respond to anything else specific that people have said, I'll just give you a few basic facts and points.
1. Vegetarians do not just eat fruits and vegetables. That is a common misconception, held by morons. Vegetarians eat all foods except for meat.
2. There is nothing (repeat: nothing) in meat that cannot otherwise be obtained from other sources.
3. With current meat alternatives, like Quorn and Soya, vegetarianism is not a difficult lifestyle to live in the Western World. Anyone who becomes ill as a result of vegetarianism (unless there are exceptional circumstances, such as lactose-intolerance, a gluten allergy, or poverty), is simply unbelievably lazy and unhealthy.
4. Just because Humans evolved eating meat does not mean that it is necessary or morally right. Humans evolved slaughtering each other over food and territory. At the risk of sounding american, Go Figure...
5. Lions, foxes, etc. eat meat because they have no choice. Apart from not having access to healthy alternatives, their teeth and digestive systems are simply not set up to cope with a non-carnivorous diet. Ours are.
6. I am not a militant vegetarian. I simply hate militant carnivores...
