If we would not eat meat, we would be somewhere below the hyenae and tha wolf in the food chain.
Luckily, our forefathers were not vegetarians and thus we have the chance to destroy this planet.

Less meat you eat less animals are bred for meat. Simple fact that shows that not eating meat means this animals dont even get to live at all.
Youre not saving animals from dying youre stopping them from ever being born.
This is the Game of Thrones
Where you either win
or you DIE
Meat consumption is environmentally unsustainable as human population increases over time. More people require more land to live however less farm land for animals. Meat prices will rise over time as there is less land to graze farm animals. Alternative protein sources or synthetic meat alternatives will need to be produced to replace animal protein. The waterways are being over fished by commercial fishers. It takes time for fish species to replenish naturally. Fish farms play a huge role in mass producing fish to feed the masses.
There's nothing inherently "wrong" about eating meat. And yet, it is problematic nevertheless.
But the problem has nothing to do with suffering animals. The problem is that producing meat is very ressource-hungry and inefficient. To produce, say, 1.000 calories of beef, you first need to feed that cow about 10.000 calories. In other words, feeding the whole human race with vegetables would require just a fraction of the farmland required to feed everyone with meat.
Eating meat shouldn't be considered in terms of "right" or "wrong". This isn't a matter of black or white. Instead, there should be more awareness that eating meat is a kind of luxury that we should consume on a moderate level. For my parents born just a few decades ago, meat was still so luxury that sunday was the only day of the week when they would afford it.
And in just a few decades from now, with several billion additional humans on earth, people's attitude towards meat will be different again. Meat consumption will not only be lower in general because meat will become very expensive, there'll also be a shift towards more ressource-efficient types of meat. The prospect of eating insects like grasshoppers might make us want to vomit. For our grandchildren, the same prospect might be what they're looking forward to all week.
no its not wrong,as ever its the balance of things,i love eating meat
i'm talking about real meat.not the processed crap
Eating meat is absolutely NOT necessary at all, its just the proof of the greedy selfish human nature, which is conditioned by its animal nature
basically we cant get rid of our simple basic insctint, after all we are just chimps
The simple answer to your question is no because we are both at the top of the food chain and we are omnivores.
The detailed answer isn't to do with the value of life, because everything is valuable and plays their own role. If you are going to not eat animals because you feel that you are ending an important life, then eating plants could perhaps be considered even more wrong. This is because plants form the base level of the food chain and produce food for almost every other living being, since most animals don't have the ability to make their own food. We as humans can eat both plants and animals to simply live.
But the part where our conscience should come into play is when animals are treated wrongly. If stopping this means eating less meat/food in general for all of us, it has to be done so that they are given a natural and decent life.
EDIT: I also agree with the others who posted about plants being a much easier source of food to produce for consumption as opposed to meat, which in reality is a luxury.
No, but the way animals are treated is.
Treat the animals better, rise the prizes, less meat consumption, more healthy people and less suffering by animals.
I can't live without chicken, fish and lamb!
no its not wrong but it is wrong to mistreat animals of course
