Yawn. Unless you're saying meat is the irrefutable, singular cause for bad health then these points are mute. Everywhere we go we are bombarded with chemicals, whether in public drinking water or the very air we breathe in crowded metropolitan cities. Eating meat in moderation, and in conjunction with an active lifestyle, will not lead to any illnesses or detrimental health effects. Consuming free-range or additive-free meats are even less likely to cause adverse effects that are noticible, whether long term or immediate.

Industrial production of steel, fuels, and especially plastics are exponentially more harmful to the environment, are carried out on almost-as-massive scales, and occur every single day in order to create a myriad things we don't need. If you're really concerned about humanity's impact on the planet you should be attacking giants like DuPont, Exxon, and GE. I suspect that, at best, your environmental sympathies are just a side-effect of your antiquated notions of the inherent value of all life, which you believe should be cherished and protected. At worst they're just another means of convincing others to be guilty about eating animals. Correct me if I'm wrong.
