From my experience no amount of clogged arteries, obesity, parasites living inside me, or other diseases related to eating those foods will make taste as important as feeling healthy all day long.
I've tried both ways and can say walking around at 7% body fat with high strength, energy, and mental clarity is much better than the taste of the seasonings on meat.
I'm guessing you haven't tried both, since one way is obviously a way better experience for anyone who does.
