I've come to the same conclusion myself, after stopping eating meat several years ago. People are addicted to the taste of meat and they eat it out of the desire for pleasure. We can have a healthy and beautiful body without eating any meat.
Sometimes I wonder, how would the world be like if people ate no meat and didn't keep billions of animals as slave prisoners ? What if people stopped killing animals for food ?
Would that affect the way that humans treat each other too ? Would people treat plants and nature differently too ? Would that be a more aggressive or a more peaceful world ? Would that affect the social structure of humans ? Would that be a more spiritually evolved world ?
