Yes, vegans who do their thing for ethical reasons are better people than you or I in that regard. Vegans who do it solely for nutritional reasons are... misguided (chicken and fish can be stupidly healthy).

The ideal is humanely raised and harvested lifestock, but that's never going to happen because the price of meat wold increase 1000% and people are fat and selfish.

As an addendum, it doesn't matter whether we evolved to eat meat or not. Humans have a higher ethical responsibility, and we're perfectly capable of being healthy without slaughtering animals for meat. And that's ignoring the ethical issues that stem from the fact that industrialized meat production is a large contributor to the destruction of the biosphere by atmospheric modification.

One good reason is also the ecological impact of meat, other than that i pretty much agree with you
