I'm a large consumer of meat and I completely understand your point of view. I personally realise a lot of the consumption is habit based and has no basis of defense if questioned. I prefer to eat locally grown produce and (attempt) to grow my own vegetables. I do think a lot about reducing consumption both from a calorie and cost point of view - I'd rather have two good steaks than 7 bad ones. I'd like to take this further but being in a family does tend to restrict the ability to dictate the diet, especially if you don't produce the majority of the meals. I have no intention of ever giving up meat products but there is a lot in what you say that people should honestly appraise what they are eating and ask if it is because it is what they really feel like eating, or what they should be eating, or if it is just because it is 7 oclock and time to consume some dead animal. I'm going to re-appraise this and see if I can approach it from a different angle.
