If anything, its healthier, but the two are not necessarily correlated. But, as we are finding out, people really don't need very much protein to meet our daily requirement(most of us eat too much), and those needs can be filled from other sources than meat. Even a vegan (eats no animal products, including dairy or eggs) may have to work a little harder to meet those requirements, but protein deficiencies are rare, esp. in the USA. If you eat no meat, you may want to supplement B vitamins, esp. B-12. These are obtainable from plant sources, but in some more "off the wall" foods such as nutritional yeast or brewers yeast. In my opinion, a vegetarian is healthier for you and the planet. Good Luck!!
