Vegetarians don't eat meat because when you're body breaks down the proteins and animal fats it releases toxins that are not released when you consume vegetables. I will agree that there are a lot of vegetarians out there that only do it for the hype, but if you research it properly You'll find out that all meat based nutrients can be replaced with plant based nutrients. You'll be healthier for it too as long as you make sure you're still consuming all the nutrients you need. The vegans that end up malnourished give all other vegetarians a bad name because they're doing it wrong. The sad truth is that people glorify the enslavement, torture, and slaughter of millions of animals each year simply so that they can have "tasty food". If we pumped our production into healthy non-meat alternatives there would be much more food available at a lower cost for everybody. Think about it, it takes 6 lbs of feed to make 1 lb of beef. That's a 6x loss of production value just so we can continue our selfish, self-indulgent lifestyle. The majority of the animals we eat are raised on farms in conditions that if humans are raised in would be considered slavery and torture. Being a meat eater is immoral and unhealthy. It's sustainable due to our technology, but it is wrong to continue doing so when you know there is a better way.
