Strangely, you almost answer your own question. Modern meat is bad for you.
Even you don't advocate going to the corner grocery store and buying their
meat. In that sense, you avoid modern meat as much as any vegetarian. All
of your dietary reasons for this are probably the same for any vegetarian:
Avoid bad meat and replace it with healthier sources of protein.
You choose to do this with specialized healthy meat via mail order.
Vegetarians have chosen to do this with locally available protein sources.
I don't see much difference between these choices, or why one side should
defend their food choices to another side. As long as people are getting
the right nutrients and avoiding the wrong substances, I see no reason why
they can't choose whatever foods interests them best.
