It's probably possible to replace the nutrients without eating meat or fish.

As far as the environment goes, it seems we could go a long way if people cut back significantly on how much meat they eat, or if (as our ancestors did) we do better about fully using the meat products we do consume. I have been amazed at how much mileage I can get out of one chicken, winding up with highly nutritious bone broth, if I put my mind to it.
