Every person is a combination of satvic, tamasic, and rajasic qualities. Then, someone who is tamasic will naturally be drawn to those kinds of things, same thing for someone who is satvic. I don't think there is anything wrong is explaining our point of view, but people will do what is in their core nature.
I have seen people who are vegetarian, but are alcoholics. In that case, them being vegetarian doesn't serve the purpose of staying in the satvic guna.
Regarding malnutrition, I read somewhere that to get 1 calorie of chicken meat it takes about 1.1 calories of intake. The same for a fish. For beef it's 30 calories for 1 calorie, so it's acutally highly inefficient to produce in densly populated countries.
And today (no surprise), beef is cheap and popular only in lower density countries (USA, Canada, Brazil, Argentina etc..)
