Quite. I will happily support vegetarians and vegans who have made that choice on health grounds, but the ethical argument has always seemed rather unconvincing and inconsistent for the reasons you give.
As an aside, I really don't understand near-carnivores (and I've known a couple) who refuse to eat anything *but* meat because they don't like vegetables. That's just barmy!
