I eat meat - and I enjoy it. However, far more animals are slaughtered than we need, and a lot don't live under the best circumstances. If you look at nature, to my knowledge, animals only kill if they're hungry.

A friend of mine became vegatarian, just before Christmas, so that he wouldn't be able to eat turkey, and since he missed THAT, he figured he wouldn't go back to eating meat after Christmas. This was many years ago and he's still a vegetarian.
