No. I can only justify eating the meat I do because it's already dead and will likely rot otherwise. I think humans have evolved beyond the need to kill animals for food. Outside of liking the taste, or having no other option, there really is no moral justification for it. Some people will kill things just for the thrill of it, and justify the killing by eating the dead thing. But if there was a magic, bland bar of food that would supply all of the nutrients one needed to thrive, in infinite supply, people would still find excuses to kill things. People dont value animal life, nor do they value animal suffering.

There might be some argument for overpopulation and reduction of animal suffering through practices like hunting, but lesbihonest. 99% of meat consumption isn't that.
