In what sense do you mean you "need animal every single meal"? "Need" as in "want really bad, can't live without it", or "need" as in "my body won't function properly without it"?
Also, can you give some examples of the contra-arguments you mentioned?
In a sense that I need to feel great and healthy. I can live without anything basically, can live on supplements in extreme but do I want to ? No.
Judging from the extreme levels of body logging in previous 10 years, and from the fact that I had some sort of trouble always prior to eating animals as main thing, I can say with confidence that all my metrics improved - I have better labs, fitness and health today then when I was 20 years younger.
I eat 4 eggs and bacon every breakfast in last 10 years.
Example of contra-arguments: killing animals that don't care about your farm or work (lots of small animals, but some are basically extinct like orangutans cuz of palm oil stuff), poisoning environment with monoculture and Roundup, taxing the healthcare system and other people because you can't really live on plants without multiple deficiencies and so on...
You can't really fight the universe, that is the main point. You are not made to eat plants, our digestive structure and acid barrier tells that story for sure. Of course, we are all biochemically unique so I totally understand that there are incompatible people but those are exceptions and rules are pretty clear.
I am against animal suffering but animals eating other animals and plants being just another living creature and not divine intervention to provide food for other living creatures is how this universe functions.
