Humans weren't made to eat meat at every meal. Up until fifty-sixty years ago, we weren't.
And the big problem, is factory farmed meat.
it's environmentally catastrophic and unsustainable
it's causing our children to go into puberty way earlier than they should be (laced with hormone)
its system could very easily contribute to a huge human epidemic
its quality is so bad that BAD is all most people know
it's unbelievably cruel and filthy

As far as the whole "you're an animal, eat like one" argument goes, animals do not end up obese in the wild. People are eating like shit.

In other words, it's not inherintly bad to eat meat. Lord baby jesus knows I love it. It's the system which provides Americans with meat that's messed up. Go hunt your own food, don't eat that filthy overprocessed bull.
