It's about choosing not to be the cause of suffering to others since we have the mental capacity to identify and stop it.

Bingo.
I've never heard a good reason to eat meat. People try to justify it through religion, god, vitamin or nutritional intake, top of the food chain mentality, ect.
The fact is we as human beings are fully able in this day and age to live healthy and productive lives while abstaining from it. If you're eating meat because the bible or your God tells you it's okay, maybe you should be looking at what kind of God you're worshipping.
I have far more respect for someone who is just straight about it and say they enjoy the taste if flesh and end the discussion right there. So many people want to justify eating it though, and no matter their reasonings, it always comes across as self-centered, barbaric, or ignorant.
I'm all for living and letting live though. The majority of my friends and family eat meat and that's cool if it makes them happy. My views are my views, they do what they do.
