Interesting fact:
Lactose Tolerance is actually a human mutation. 2/3 of the world human population today is intolerant. People started to adapt around 10,000 B.C. in modern day Turkey where the lactose gene stayed on, opposed to where after a certain age it would switch off. People with the gene could drink milk there inter lives. This mutation spread throughout Eurasia, to Great Britain, Scandinavia, the Mediterranean, India and all points in between, stopping only at the Himalayas. Independently, other mutations for lactose tolerance arose in Africa and the Middle East, though not in the Americas, Australia, or the Far East.

True, it's the 21st century now, and it certainly would be possible to have a 100% meat-free society, like in Michael Ely's Alpha Centauri series. But so long as we still live on Earth, there is a huge amount of nutrient resources pent up in foods we can't digest, but other animals can digest.
(And don't start the counterargument that "We feed cattle corn that we could have eaten ourselves." The fact that cattle are sometimes fed human-grade food doesn't change the fact that cattle are still primarily conversion factories that convert indigestible food into nutrients we can digest.)
