Actually, Bird Flu is not passed to humans by eating poultry unless you
eat it raw. Cooking the infected bird; chickens or turkeys, etc., will
kill the flu. You can only get the bird flu from bird droppings. That is
so far the authoritative view.
As to your immune system, protein is necessary for cellular development
and especially as a brain food. While you can obtain protein from legumes
you don't need to limit your protein consumption to any one thing. I don't
see how you can claim a health advantage from limiting your diet although
there is no doubt you would be reducing certain fats, while you need other
fats like omega 3 which is probably best obtained from fish but to claim
any advantage for your immune system just doesn't seem to make any sense.
The greatest advantage for being a vegetarian, IMO, is to the animal - by
not taking it's life for yours - even though all life consumes life to
sustain itself. Even a plant is life.
