Not true; there's no B12 and it's a little difficult to get a couple of
minerals like zinc. In many respect (most vitamins) vegan diets do indeed
tend to be excellent. Protein is a non-issue; you'll get enough protein from
almost any natural diet.

This is horsehockey. The digestive chemicals in your stomach are
hydrochloric and butyric acid. Neither meat nor potatoes (nor any other food
you'd eat) will cancel that.
It's a pity, really. Calorie restriction is a great way to extend lifespan.
If all I had to do was to eat meat and potatoes together and nothing would
get digested, I'd be set.
