Real food has meat in it
Real food tastes good, my favorite Indian restaurant has some of the greatest food I've ever eaten, without a trace of meat
No I'm not vegan, I like meat, but it's not a necessity in everything
And we eat wayyyy too much of it. Partly because it's so prevalent that it's the default in most meals.
You don't have to go vegetarian to skip the meat at Taco Bell that you hardly notice anyway.
People always say they couldn't give up a good steak, but we're mostly not eating steak, we're eating low quality processed meat and you could swap that with other protein and not notice.
Yeah, if people kept eating steak at the same rate, but reduced or stopped eating all the garbage meat, they and the world would be a healthier happier place. I'm not against eating meat, but I am against they typical western, especially American, focus on eating so much of it.
As a person who loves eating meat (fish and chicken mostly) I agree that I love some veg dishes
Fun fact! In English, the word meat does not include fish (at least usually). You can thank the Catholics for that one.
At this point in American English, there is no question that meat includes fish.
I think it should, but I don't think it does. The first definition that shows up when I search the word: "The edible flesh of animals, especially that of mammals as opposed to that of fish or poultry." It explicitly excludes fish, though I do think poultry is generally considered meat, so maybe this isn't perfect. Every definition that is about flesh from a creature seems to exclude fish though.
The distinction of fish not being meat is the reason why the pescetarian diet exists. It's a diet next to vegetarian, but allows fish. The don't eat "meat."

Doesn't really check out with your prejudices
There are only two kinds of people I have prejudice against. vegans, and the ruling class
Ding dong your opinion is wrong.
All hail Ron Swanson. Truly, what an original thought.
The weak eat meat. 2nd class protein filled with fat and cholesterol.
No wonder almost 80% of Americans are fat sacks of shit.
