If meat were a special thing you treated yourself to once in a while, the overall effects would be better for all involved.

One persons perversion is anothers lifestyle.
Most major European nations eat just a tad less meat than Americans, so you can drop that part of the argument.
Americans eat about 218 pounds a year.
French eat about 203 pounds.
Germans eat about 198 pounds.
I couldn't find a number for the Brits but its listed at 24.2% of their diet.
Added is that Europe was hit harder by the BSE scare than the US and their numbers are still on the rise.
You seem to view eating meat as an aberation, I think its perfectly healthy.
