Anyone else have the vegan bleeding heart but not the discipline to be vegan?

At least the people who think we have a right to kill animals are consistent; you’re just a weak hypocrite on a matter that, per your logic, is of significant moral importance
Agreed that meat industry is evil hell on earth
But then, so’s biglaw

While it's technically possible (and not really all that hard) to eat a healthy diet without meat these days, virtually everyone I know who has ever been vegan or vegetarian for a very long time essentially just had an eating disorder or at best was malnourished to a significant degree. Like if I took 10 of my vegan/vegetarian friends and 10 of my meat-eating friends, 8 out of 10 of the vegs would be anemic v. 0 out of 10 of the meat eaters.
Plus the fact that there's at least a decent amount of evidence that human brains evolved into their planet-dominating capabilities on a timeline consistent with when humans started eating meat. And the fact that it's insanely hard to not eat meat and get enough protein to come anywhere close to your genetic capacity for lean muscle and strength.
So I just see too many data points in the biology and history of the human species to seriously worry that eating animals is somehow morally wrong. OTOH, eating basically a bare minimum of beef and pork and trying to get as much protein as possible from fish has all sorts of logical arguments in favor of it: boycotting/reducing spend at factory farms, eating fresher/less processed protein, lower carbon footprint, etc.

when i was 17, some Hari Krishnas at the airport gave me this pamphlet on vegetarianism which contained a quotation from Lenoardo da Vinci: 'The animals are my friends. I don't eat my friends.'
...and behind the quotation was this smiling little lamb nuzzling this guy's hand. and it really almost made me cry, and i couldn't eat meat for like... 3 weeks after that.
but then i did, and i just try not to think about it.
