I won't attempt to argue that eating meat is morally acceptable, but I don't feel shame at doing it.
Maybe I'm just weak. I have tried to be vege 3 or 4 times and always failed (I'm in my mid 20s). I have counted as my closest friends people who really seem to hate the human race and think other animals far superior.
And I think that it is industrialised farming and overconsumption of meat that is the real evil, as Daminxia pretty much said.
But really, if you can't tell the difference between those who eat meat but are basically trying to be kind and good people and those that enjoy killing animals and watching them suffer for its own sake, then we are truly fucked.
