See this article in the UCLA magazine (July 2012) and this one from Time magazine. It's becoming evident that tilting towards, or going veggie, is not only good for you, but ultimately good for the planet, too. Simply put, it just takes too much feed, water, and petroleum to raise and harvest stock animals as protein sources. If there's going to be enough food to go around as the population increases, then we have to move away from dependence on high-cost, high-energy protein sources - to more sustainable and healthy ones!
In my experience, the more adapted to veggie eating I become, the less I miss meat. In fact, it's even become a little unappetizing for me to consider now. Consider giving it a try yourself and see!
