I'm not a vegetarian, but my wife is. So I only eat meat perhaps once or twice a week.
On the bright side, it has really expanded my food horizon. Having grown up in a typical meat and potatoes home, I never thought chick peas would be a favourite ingredient in my food (I didn't know what it was until I met my wife).
However, I'm not a big fan of vegetarian meat substitutes. Vegetarianism doesn't have to indicate that there is a lack. It's an entirely different mindset towards food. So no tofu-chicken for me please. But lots of exciting salads and I'm quite content, although I do sometimes overcompensate by having a meatfeast in such an extent, that you can almost visibly see the arteries clogging.
But really there's no argument against vegetarianism. Except that meat can taste so darn good.
Other than that, I think vegetarianism makes sense regardless whether we talk about co2, health (for you or the animal), having enough food for everyone on this planet and so forth.
The moral stance is to be a vegetarian imo. I just like to be immoral at times.
