I think that's exactly the point of many vegetarians are making. In modern times, there is no longer any need to eat meat because cheap, healthy alternatives exist. Hence, eating meat is now a choice, and no longer a necessity.

If it were the Hindus would have died out, back when their vegetarianism was a dictate rather than a still very common preference. I wonder if you think it was necessary because of nutrition (nonsense) or because of some subtler point about agriculture?
