Uh, because meat is food, and food is what I eat. I'm not gonna eat dirt, now am I? That's just dumb.

I like the taste and have no moral issues regarding the treatment of animals before they die. Mainly because I know nothing about it.
Millions of years of evolution turned me omnivore, 10 years of nutrition specialists saying that vegetables are good, then bad, then good, then start recommending low carb diets, then high carb diets and all that bullshit has done nothing to convince me to go against what evolution pushed me towards.
We do in fact not have the ability to utilize all the nutrition which is stored inside vegetables. This is a digestive process which takes place in the appendix, an organ we have no use for because it's been reduced to almost nothing. The animals that eat plants are made to do so in one way or another. We are made to eat both, thus we can't get the same from only plants.
Brain development also require fat in quantities we don't get from plants.
Also bacon.

yea low/high carb diets are not Good for youYopaz said:
they eater make you lose weight becasue your body cant process nothing but fat/proteen.
or they clog your digestive tract
only diet that is healthy for you is a balanced one.
I eat meat because it is natural (and bacon is the food of gods). Humans have teeth designed for eating meat, after all.
Since you put "Bacon" as your only meat allowed option, I'm forced to click it. And even then, bacon isn't usually the focus of a meal. It usually helps compliment something else, like pancakes and eggs...all nice and crispy...sorry, lost my train of thought.
My point is that there's nothing wrong with eating meat in any sence. Plants and animals are both alive and animals eat other animals so it's all fair game, humans are omnivores after all. This is one of those cases which I say eat what you want and believe what you want, just don't force what your views on me/others.

I only really eat bacon on occasion - and only because I really don't like pigs. That and occasionally corned beef.... Don't like cattle either - they fart too much.
The way I see it by eating the cow that'd otherwise produce methane - I am actually saving the environment.
That and really - just me stopping eating meat won't stop animal cruelty everywhere, so it's not like there's any point.

I eat meat...
why? because it tastes good, keeps me alive and builds my body with the proteins and fats I get from it. And also easy access.
As for the bad for the enviroment thing, well if we didn't eat meat and continue to keep alive animals that should've died out long ago (some tigers, rhinos, pandas etc) then this world would be largely overpopulated.
But I don't really have any reason why I do it, ideological or religious or any other, I was raised with meat and still eat it, that's it.

For the same reason I eat fruits, vegetables, cheese, grain, etc.
Because it tastes good. And alternative protein sources generally taste like shit.

I've been on both sides. I ate meat, then was dared to not eat it by a friend, this lasted almost 2 years. In those 2 years I moved away from home and learned to cook, even though the dare was only for a year I could only cook veggie meals until I decided to go back to meat.
Now I just sit on the fence. I eat meat, but I know perfectly well that the big pile of veg in the fridge is going in a thai green curry tonight.

I do, because animal fat is far easier to digest and is a far more efficient energy source than any grain.
As for how raising meat is harmful to the environment... blame that on government subsidies for corn and beef (but wheat is just as bad). Same reason we've got so many fat people in the US.
So yeah, no good poll options... not that I have anything against bacon, it's just not much of a reason.
