I am an omnivore. ... I believe that to not eat what your body was made for processing is unnatural, but that's just me.
That, along with your abilities to control your passions and being able to reason, means you can choose. If our species is naturally wired to choose and can live quite healthily in modern society on a vegetarian diet, then why would it be unnatural to choose to not eat flesh? The ability to choose with reason is a natural thing for us, isn`t it?

I will never be a vegetarian, simply because there is NO other omnivore or carnivore that refuses to eat other animals based on morals.
Do we simply base our decisions on what other animals do and not do or refuse to do? Dogs do not refuse to mate in front of others simply because others are around due to morals, but we control ourselves and do not act like dogs, thus do not hump on each other when the mood strikes us anywhere any time.

Check your reasoning to make sure it is not premised on prejudice and you may find things are not as simple as you imagine.
