Because meat still has nutritive values that plants can't provide.
That's not true. Every nutrient that the human body needs or benefits from can be provided in a plant-based diet.

It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes.

I agree with that. I also think it extends to all animal farming.
