Yes. I mean, obviously it's a personal choice, but since you asked...
1.) Ethical reasons--There's a ton of footage, I'm sure, of the goings on at the slaughterhouse. If you watch and are willing to participate and support the practice, eat meat. Also, watch footage of the animals cramped into the smallest possible space, living on top a bed of feces. If you think such practices are fine, eat meat.
2.) Enviornmental- At least in America, the majority of the grains that feed animals are grown in the razed land of the rain forest, where land and labor are dirt cheap.
3.) Health- When you eat a burger, you are actually eating hundreds of cows. The parts from a multitude of cows are ground into burger, and if one cow is less than healthy, the entire batch is contaminated. This happens all the time.
"Free range" animals raised locally would solve some of the above problems, except, of course the first. It would also be a hell of a lot more expensive.
Personally, the ethics of killing animals for no good reason (anything you can get from animals you can get elsewhere) is the biggest reason why I'm a vegetarian. If I ate one animal, there's nothing to prevent me from eating my cat other than "convention," which I laugh at in general. Needless to say, I would never eat my cat.
By the way, when I became a vegetarian 14 years ago, I promised myself that I wouldn't badger people about what they ate. Sadly, this curtousy has not been returned and I've taken years and years of shit from people who probably deep down suspect I'm actually on to something. The only reason why I've gone on about not eating meat is because, again, you asked.
