It is actually. I just have a stronger case against what most Americans eat, and since most here are the average American, I use that argument. I can go against all animal flesh eating, but I choose to focus on what most people here are like.
Then it's not an argument for vegetarianism and has no place in this thread.

Animal flesh eating in any circumstance causes enviromental damage,
Is there any proof of that? What environmental damage would be caused by me keeping a few chickens in my yard?

ending of an animals life (which may have lived much longer),
Why is that a reason not to eat meat?

and most would still cause health problems (not as much though).
Not all meat will necessarily cause health problems, so again your argument is for altering the way in which we eat or obtain meat; not for vegetarianism.

In addition to that, lots of things are harmful to our health. That doesn't mean it's a bad idea to indulge in it. Life exists to be enjoyed; not prolonged at all cost.
