That, and the idea of someone arbitrarily choosing to not eat a specific subset of food when people across the globe are starving...dicks.

And, ironically, a large part of my choice to forego meat was out of a sense of empathy to connect myself spiritually (if you will, though I suspect you won't) with those facing daily hunger.
I chose to forego meat, and to try to practice fasting, in part out of recognition that I, living in Land of Plenty, where "going to the market" means walking through aisles and aisles of GetAnythingIDamnWellPlease (air-conditioned, no less), might have reason to recognize, daily, that there are many in the world a hell of a lot less fortunate. In other words: I chose to become a vegetarian as an act of personal sacrifice.
So, in many ways, I respect, and perhaps even share, the attitude you display above.
On the plus side, however, I've lost substantial weight, have greatly increased my physical well-being, and I shit like a dream

Of course, it could also all be due to a very low level of hatred and rage in my life, but, that's just me.
