Explanation:
Thanksgiving arrives every year with a heated debate over how to best cook that plump and juicy turkey. But the idea of a tofu turkey (also known as a “tofurkey”) has gone from a joke a couple years ago to a reality for many. While vegetarianism has been practiced for over a thousand years in some countries, it is a relatively new concept in the West. And so, with the question cropping up more and more often, should we eat meat?

Plant-Eating Kills Plenty of Animals Too.
So should humans not eat plants?
Based on The Center for Consumer Freedom's argument, humans should stop eating vegetables and fruits.
Instead of using this as your argument, those who object eating meat may find a good solution to end all these killing of lives because of land clearing and reason that humans can actually find a solution to end all those unneeded killing.
Also, based on your other argument, eating meat ia a natural process. I do not disagree, but eating vegetables is also a natural process. Humans are not meant to kill to get food. It is only because our population is very big, that's why we need to clear the land. We can also find other alternatives so that we will not kill animals in the process of eating vegetables.
As experts, those opposing your p.o.v. may very quickly find an alternative. I do not think this argument makes great sense as you are contradicting your earlier arguments.
Humans have our rights, so do animals. Humans have their natural processes, so do animals.
