By eating a plant based diet doesn't automatically make you an athlete nor intelligent nor live longer. If you don't exercise you won't become an athlete. Intelligence is something you are born with. We don't eat only plants because we think that it makes us immortal. Everyone has their reasons. Personally i don't like the idea that an animal that has life should be slaughtered for the sole purpose of becoming a steak. If i can only survive with vegetables then why not do it? No one is forcing you to do it. It's a matter of choice.
But it does improve your overall health and quality of life. I have seen great improvement in my life
Just read the ''China Study''. Or watch Forks Over Knives.
We are the most intelligent beings on this planet. And instead of protecting the other animals, we exploit them. I am sure that if any of us had to butcher an animal on our own to eat we'd all be vegetarian. If slaughterhouses had glass walls we'd all be.
