I can believe people if they say they are vegetarian because they don't like meat, or they don't want to eat something with a face (as Z said, I believe), or any other personal reason. But not if they are because it's supposedly healthier. The verdict is still out on that one. We've been meat eaters from almost the start of our carrier as humans (everything points in that direction, our teeth, our gut, our stomach) so it can't be that unheallthy...

The middle way is definitely fine with me, since I'm trying to walk it myself. About us being meat eaters from the start of our carrier as humans, I think there are wild discussions about that. Our teeth does not point entirely in that direction as far as I know (but I know little of biology). Anyway I don't think it's very interesting whether we were "meant" to eat meat or not. I am more interested in whether meat eaters live longer and healthier lives than vegetarians. My guess is quite they don't. Could they live longer and healthier than vegetarians. Perhaps.
But if the average meat-eater became a vegetarian, I'd wager that he/she became healthier.
