Or I completely misunderstand.
I'm not trying to convince you that meat eating is immoral, the reasoning just seems knee jerky.
When it comes to the morality of my biological necessities, I'm a bit of a pragmatist; I've evolved to eat meat, predation is pretty much a reality, so I don't see any particular reason to abstain from what is, essentially, an unsolvable reality of the world we live in. My personal abstention from eating meat won't change the fact that it's a large component of the global ecosystem, after all.
But I'm not saying it's moral because it's natural, as I don't happen to think that's true; there are plenty of natural things that I would consider immoral. It's just that in my book, morality concerns the well being and biological requirements of thinking agents, and since the eating of meat is a component of who we are as a species, how we've evolved, that is a factor in my moral considerations on the subject.
