If you are looking for justifications to adopt an herbivore's diet, then consider this...
Michael Pollan, in this articled titled "Why Bother?", says that giving up meat is, "an act that would reduce your carbon footprint by as much as a quarter."
An herbivore's diet helps reduce greenhouse gases.
If you, in addition, plant your own garden then you will also reduce your fossil-fuel-calorie to food-calorie ratio too (which typically requires 10 fossil fuel calories per calorie of food).
The more I learn about my new diet, the better I feel about adopting it.
