So, since you eat meat as well, you are doling out pain with every bite? Maybe
if we all just eat slowly...hmmm.

I agree completely! That would cut down on the amount of meat eating
drastically. That is not too feasible in a restaurant situation but the basic
idea is great.

Clone a sparerib or a drumstick? Hmmm, so your only objection is that animals
have to die to feed us? I imagine we should start cloning oranges and wheat and
peapods and such as well. Insecticides are used to promote healthy, large
harvests. A whole LOT of insects bite the big one either directly or indirectly
related to that. Are you telling me that a cow has more intrinsic worth than a
bug?

Maybe you are listening to your body, your omnivoric body that is saying, "Hey,
I was designed to eat meat dammit!"
I know several pure vegetarians who do not consider the smell or taste of meat
to be attractive in the slightest though.

If it works for you, go for it.
