Many people can healthily have a vegetarian diet maybe, but for some it's not even healthy. The fact we are evolved omnivores could explain that.
I could slowly change my diet after consulting my doctor about it in future.... but my own health is to be taken into consideration too, and I also have other moral considerations to think about like giving to charity, and, that costs money, and, I won't be able to afford to donate as much if I change my diet to say, veganism because organic food is very expensive.
Also, if I was really serious I'd have to stop eating a lot of non-meat foods that have other immoral additives like anything that has palm oil in it that isn't sustainable because of the environmental harm that's doing to orang-utans and whatnot. And palm oil is in so many products for various usage. It's almost unavoidable.... and there are many other examples besides palm oil I'm sure.
In principle I should change my ways, in practice it's hard because everything has it's price and there are other ethical matters I can attend to for that price.
Besides, a lot of products that do harm to animals or the environment stimulate the economy and that money at least could be spent on giving to charity. And if enough is given, more benefit than harm may even be given. Who knows? It's all rather complicated really.
