Think what you want. I don't like the idea of all the hormones and antibiotics they inject the animals with going into my system, nor the irradiation of meat, or the filthy conditions of any profitable center of animal production. There is also not a chance I am aware of to get sick from poorly cooked veggies. 
I just don't care enough (and am not able to eat enough varied kinds of veggies) to change my lifestyle. Ironically, animal suffering in many cases makes meat taste better.
