Is Meat Morally Justifiable?

Just because we are biologically capable of doing something, doesn't instantly make it morally justifiable. Meat is an abundant source of protein from a nutritional standpoint. I need the protein that i get from meat, and that makes eating meat morally justifiable to me. We have other foods that will give you high levels of protein that don't involve taking the life of another sentient being. beans, nuts, eggs, whole grains, synthesized protein - these are al ways to get that same protein intake without taking some else's life.
