How do you justify eating meat?

Best way for me to get the amount of protein that I need on a daily basis to keep my health stable.

It makes me angry that so many people answering this question seem completely out of touch with, or indifferent about, the misery we put animals through for their entire lives via factory farming. "It's tasty" isn't a decent justification. Neither is "other animals eat animals"; they don't torture each other via factory farming. And besides that, just because something happens in nature doesn't mean it's good. Maybe nature is evil? It sure seems like it.

We must reduce the amount of cattle and pigs in order to avoid further flooding the fertile soil with the manure to an poisoning extend.

Animals eat other animals all the time, also I'm told the consumption of meat was a big driver in our species brain development - like if we hadn't eaten meat, our brains wouldn't have developed rapidly to the point that we could question the practice of eating meat...then maybe some other species that did eat meat would surpass us and then it's Planet of the Bears, is that what you want????

Also it tastes good
