There is a rational, and for some people a spiritual, case for being a vegetarian: Killing animals is wrong. If you eat meat you cannot logically find it morally or ethically repugnant to eat a particular meat (I’m setting cannibalism aside here.). But as Cohen experiences, humans don't live "in theory." The theory is sound.

By the end of my time as researcher, I was performing behavioral experiments on humans.

If you are already a vegetarian, make this the year that you decide to go vegan. And, of course, by experimenting with all sorts of new vegan dishes, you will be learning a new healthier way of cooking and eating. If you are like most people, you think that it is seriously morally wrong to contribute to unnecessary animal suffering.
