Here's a steelman argument that has nothing to do with health:
Eating meat prevents us from justifying giving in to our animal nature, and instead striving to live in a just society. If we forbid eating animals, we're implying that they are on the same level as humans. This, together with the fact that there is little genetic separation between man and beast (humans share 99% of their DNA with chimps), can lead us to conclude that we are no better than animals, and can therefore act as animals would (subjugating those weaker than us, stealing and killing at will, etc.). We can forget that we have an intelligence and compassion that animals don't, and should act accordingly.
By killing and eating animals we show that we consider ourselves a superior lifeform (we all agree that killing and eating another human is wrong). Meditating on this will remind us not to give into animal instincts, and instead act in a way befitting someone of our intellect and emotions, striving on creating a society where people do not take advantage of their advantages to subjugate those weaker than them.

It looks like the border-left is not set for the alternate themes. I'm using 4chan. I changed the css to this:
and it worked. for some reason, some colors worked and some didn't, so I just chose black.
