I saw this tweet last night and thought it was hilarious:

A cow is a biological machine invented by humans to turn grass into steak.

Yet I still haven't figured out if eating meat is consistent with non-violence. It may be tasty, tasty murder.

But, as you said, everything in moderation. :)

I grew up in farm country. Most of the local farms had around 100 head of beef cattle.

I have also had many conversations about whether eating meat is tasty, tasty murder. And the fact that vegetables aren't food, they are what food eats.

All kidding aside, it occasionally give me pause to wonder whether I have a right to eat the meat - but seeing the natural killing (wolves and deer, wolverines and basically anything) ... at least humans slaughter their prey quickly with as little pain and suffering as possible.
