I eat lots of meat because I can and because it's healthier then the alternative. Our bodies are too good at converting sugars and starches into fat and food is so available that we need less effective calorie source not more. Meat is a great food source because it's both filling and were not all that good at converting it so we really need to be eating more meat we just need to figure out a more effective way to produce it. For me the climate change argument is easily overcome by the health benefits of a high protein diet. There is lots of data out there linking high starch and grain diets to obesity and diabetes. So there really needs to be better alternatives before we can reduce our meat consumption.
