I stopped eating meat about a year ago and it was one of the best decisions of my life. While the bioindustry is a good reason to stop eating meat produced in such an environment, in my opinion it's even better to quit eating meat at all, even if someone prays before killing an animal. Because let's face it, regardless how you kill your animal, you are still feasting on a corpse.
That's basically it, it's corpseeating, like vultures with the exeption that vultures are cleaning up 'the mess' while we are just killing and torturing for taste.
Recent research shows that animals register pain emotionally the same way as we do. What's more civilized? Torturing someone to death? Or giving them a neckshot. Or can we conclude that any killing of living creatures, is just barbaric?
It's not as if we need meat to survive, au contrary, it's not very healthy at all. And with hunger problems int he world on our western television all the time, doesn't it seem kind of egocentric to spend three fields of grain, to grow one field of meat?

PS Research seems to indicate that vegetarians are more intelligent than average.
