If anyone is aware, humans are naturally omnivors, which means we are biologically suited for eating meat. Second, how do you think humans survived the ice age when plants were scarce? Eating meat was the reason we were able to beat out the Neandertal using more effective means of hunting. Also, because we are suited to eat meat there are problems with becoming completely vegitarian where you have to work real hard to make sure you dont develop nutrient imbalances. IT ISNT HEALTHY. And if you're worried about cruelty, animals die in nature in a far more gruesome and painful manner than we kill them. The only reason we have vegitarian wimps now-a-days is that we literally arent used to hunting or processing meat anymore because we buy it at the market. Not eating meat means you deny who you are as a human being.
