If I were living in tundra region where vegetation was scarce (rather non-existent) and if I wanted to pursue spirituality, then consuming meat would not bore any sin. But living in civilized society, if I consume meat which could be avoided, then I was definitely committing some sin.
Sin as defined by Lord Krishna was… for the sake of dinner if I wanted a duck and on the hunting trip for the sake of pleasure if I kill 3 ducks… then for the extra two ducks hunted I would be punished by God. Consuming meat was not advised on path of pure spirituality.
Spirituality demands establishing absolute control over five senses and mind, negating karma to zero. By killing one we were incurring sin, maybe the quantum was minimal. As we need cutting karma to zero, even that minimal part must be neutralized.
For invoking positive thoughts all the time, our consumption of vegetarian diet was preferable.
