Interesting article. I suspect why I eat meat is both nice and normal. I grew up in Western New York, so chicken wings and pepperoni pizza are a staple of the local food culture. I couldn't imagine going without eating these delicious foods for any extended length of time. At the same time, I would get a lot of nosy questions and concerned looks if I decided to up and stop eating meat. So basically, I have no desire to quit eating meat, and even if I did the social factor would be very off putting.
