I was an avid vegan and was raised vegetarian but at 23 I suffered from general muscle atrophy from a combination of labor heavy work and my vegetarian diet. I sustained a much higher than the normal veggie protein intake and ate a very nutrition conscious whole food diet. I had to change my ways when my vegetarian acupuncturist told me I had to eat red meat because nothing else was working. I do not eat meat everyday but eating it has saved my life. If being vegetarian works for you good but some peoples bodies can't sustain on a vegetarian diet alone.
Also cars are much worse than livestock on global warming and livestock waste can be used for methane recapture energy projects.
