OK, that's my opinion:
If you are, for example, a kid, and you don't know where the meat comes from and you just eat it and believe it's awesome and it'll make you healthy and etc. then probably it will. But then you 'grow up' and you learn that animals are killed and, before that, have to go trough horrible lifes.. Then things change a little.
For the subjective reality thing to work you have to be aware that you're not just your physical body. The meat you eat, in fact, is a part of you. So.. does it make sense to make a part of you (the cows) have a very unpleasant life, be killed and cut in pieces and and still want the other part of you (the human) to be healthy?
Point is, you can be healthy eating meat, but just to a certain extent, as you have to be unaware of a lot of things or deny a huge part of yourself (the "I don't want to cause suffering to others" part) to do so. This conflict/lack-of-awareness will eventually disrupt your 'mental harmony' and it's solution will lead you to stop killing (eating?).
So, that's it. Just my opinion, anyways. Excuse me for my english (and for having to type in my mom's qwerty keyboard (I'm used to dvorak))
