There are many Jewish vegetarians. If you haven't seen the price per pound on kosher meat you would understand why many select vegetarianism (as well as why so many Jews decide not to keep kosher.)
However, it has traditionally been viewed as being improper to abstain from meat on Shabbat. So many Jews who are vegetarian during the week, do eat some meat on the Sabbath. So, while Judaism doesn't have any definitive command against vegetarianism, the tradition is that you shouldn't practice it every day of the week.
