OP: Lean tetrapod meat is not healthy.
Occasional sea food may be health
neutral compared to the average vegan diet, but tetrapod meat (meat from "land animals"), even lean meat, is bad for you. It causes heart disease and cancer (fish doesn't contribute as much to heart disease, it may cause cancer too, but the Omega fatty acids may also be somewhat protective so it may balance out relative to a typical vegan diet).

What is right or wrong? It's a very blurry thing to define and it's pretty subjective.
Not subjective. Subjective implies opinion. Morality is complicated and at times uncertain due to incomplete information.
Compare morality to a particle of imprecisely known position and velocity -- a wave function of uncertainty.
Only people like Deepak Chopra claim quantum physics means reality is subjective (relative to our beliefs and opinions) due to that.
Morality, like quantum physics, is absolutely in no way subjective. It's just difficult to measure precisely because we can't perfectly predict the future and know all variables.
However, we can get in the right ballpark.

Right, so these are more like grey areas. We don't have enough data to be able to say what would have happened otherwise.
It's the same as what we would call error bars on statistical analysis of scientific results.
Things like war have positive and negative effects, which make it complicated to weigh them and determine what is really good.
Killing the Jews, however, was certainly bad, because it had nothing whatsoever to contribute to the technological advances brought about by the war which could arguably be called good. The error bars do not overlap neutral or veer into the reasonable possibility of "good".
Likewise, with animal agriculture. There is nothing good about it. It's bad for the animals. It's bad for the environment. It's bad for our health, and the economy, and pretty much everything else.
Animal agriculture isn't a grey area -- it's just bad, like the holocaust itself.
RedAppleGP,
There's only very little wrong with eating brain dead humans, or those who died but were not killed by or for you. Not sure where you got the idea that it was particularly bad. It's comparable to grave desecration, not murder.
