The amount of meat people want to eat necessitates factory farming and that is a great breeding ground for animal-borne disease. Meat also concentrates heavy metals in the animal's diet. The quantity of meat consumption is making us sick.

    Even if humans reduced their meat consumption drastically it would be even more inefficient to produce meat ethically -- either that, or the prices of meat would rise astronomically which is probably a good thing, making it more of a luxury item.
