I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Taste, is in fact, Nutrition/Taste, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Nutrition plus Taste. Taste is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Nutrition system.
Well now, that's not entirely true. If you will grant me, at least for the sake of this discussion, that /u/dullbananas is a homo sapiens, then I know, to a scientific certainty, that the more meat this homo sapiens consumes, the younger they will die, and the more major health consequences they will suffer.
Would you like to see the several significant and influential studies, some of which span several decades, that establishes this as an indisputable fact or would you just like to keep coming up with the same pat objections that everyone who wishes it was okay to keep eating meat tries to use to rationalize the decision?

Then why are you so afraid to say, "Yes, please show me your evidence. I will read it and consider your point?" You would rather attack my evidence without ever knowing what it is, because you are not engaging in good faith.
