Eating Meat, Preference or Necessity?

For a large portion of Americans, maybe not. I'm still unsure about babies and young children though. I know a few vegetarians who dropped it once they became pregnant. It might not be "necessary", but when it comes to your baby, I would never fault anyone for not [censored] around and sticking to what is known to work.

For other parts of the world, I'd argue it is necessary (Africa especially).

Fine, and I think this can be used as a legitimate argument as long as it is true. If it is economically or practically impossible for some society to survive unless they eat meat, then that is a relevant factor, and probably obliterates any other moral qualms.
