I agree with you, I don't think I can do without meat, although I greatly admire those who have been able to deal with it.
If I ever did it would be mainly because of the conscience I have about animal protection, but as long as man raises animals for human consumption I will paradoxically consume them, I don't know why ethically I can't separate them from the animals I wish they wouldn't kill and that live in terrible conditions.
Things of our minds and protein needs of our body, I imagine.
