Word man. We (my gf and I) eat meat 1-2X a week, and the portion is actually minimal compared to the grain/starch/veggie portions on the rest of the plate. For example, most people eat damn near half a chicken during ONE meal! We do one leg of chicken per the dish, the rest being grains and veggies. This goes beyond humane animal treatment and PETA, this is pure health. We don't need that much cooked flesh in our bodies. We, as Americans, have just been conditioned to think so because it's such a high paying industry for those supplying it to us.
It doesn't have to be giving up meat entirely, just being mindful about how much one is consuming and finding responsible ways to maintain that.
