Meat, as it's carbon footprint is just too high.
And is a major cause of deforestation, biodiversity decline, antibiotic resistance, water pollution and water overuse, ... And of course animal cruelty and abuse.
Kurzgesagt has a fantastic video on the matter, and the video has great peer-reviewed sources right in the description for whoever would need them.

I've heavily reduced my meat consumption after seing this video. I basically never eat meat in the meals I make only for myself. It's not like I never eat meat, but since getting a bit more informed, I try to respect the occasional meat instead of expecting it several times a day.
