Hi Michelle,
I wasn't really talking about you specifically. I just make that comment because at least in America, we are at a point where around 50% of the average person's diet is meat......that's a severely deficient diet. Yet those same people tend to see a vegetarian diet as deficient.
As far as why people eat meat. Humans are naturally opportunistic when it comes to concentrated calories, which meat is....we are naturally attracted to seek out concentrated calories for when they are presented. It gives us pleasure. However, the problem in our modern society is that all these concentrated calories are more available than ever before...too available.
