I loved your respectful response. My favorite response is "If you wouldn't kill it, you shouldn't eat it". Most people wouldn't eat meat if they had to kill the animal or even see it before it was killed by someone else.
Another reason eating plant protein is better is that besides protein it also has fiber (legumes) and beneficial oil (nuts and seeds).

Great question for debate by: Cathleen
This is a great question and one that I find myself talking about often with people who are naturally prone to looking out for the environment and the world.
