Putting the suffering of sentient beings aside, there are still many things wrong with eating meat as practiced in most developed countries... Ressources consumptions and heart diseases are only two of the very well documented issues.

It doesn't stop at "knowing what's best for everybody." I'm fine with people thinking they know things; what I'm not fine is the power of the state being turned against everyone to enforce what are nearly always fringe or minority beliefs.
Sorry, vegetarians and vegans, but most of the world is just fine with eating meat[1].

If you were to sit down and have a very open honest conversation with somebody who doesn’t share your perspective, you’ll find that you’re intentionally (or unintentionally) ignoring a lot of information to form your point of view.
Every public influence in our world today knows how to influence people in this way too. You fit in a bucket and you’re going to see information that reinforces you.
There’s nothing wrong with being vegetarian or vegan. There’s nothing wrong with eating meat.
There’s a lot wrong with believing you know what’s best for everybody.
