Personally I never saw why we shouldn't eat meat (except those who view it as cruelty to animals. I can understand that even though I don't agree). Of course I'm a loon who thinks plants have just as much spirit as animals, so if killing and harvesting animals for food is wrong, it would be wrong to do it to plants as well.
The world works by one species feeding off another. Our bodies are built to handle eating herbivors (not so much carvinores, specifically the livers of carnivors can be especially bad).
Overall, its a person's choice. As long as they are happy with it, more power to them. Just don't try and convert anyone (heh, that goes for religious types too). You're allowed to explain your views, but don't push them.
