There is absolutely nothing wrong with eating meat, the problem is in over consumption of meat, unsustainable agriculture to feed animals and the bad treatment of animals.

Restricting yourself to expensive, high quality meat is a perfectly fair way of sustaining yourself and making sure the environment doesn't suffer too much.

If everyone only ate as much meat as they needed things wouldn't be so out of whack.

The unnecessary slaughtering of animals is a problem all by itself in my opinion.

What about people who can only afford dollar menu quality beef?

A corollary statement from other threads are if only we limit population size meat would be environmentally viable.
