Do you think the Lord will judge us based on how much meat we consume in this life? Or how many animals died at the expense of our nourishment? "Eat meat sparingly"? What is sparingly? 1 out of 10 meals?
I interpret this as eat meat as little as possible.
I give the following breakdown using the glories of the Kingdoms of Heaven merely for illustration purposes in how I rank the righteousness of each class, not to say I believe these are the kingdoms you'll end up in based on your eating lifestyle
Vegan = Celestial
Vegetarian = Terrestrial
Omnivore = Telestial
Carnivore = Outer Darkness
After all, the Lord gave man dominion over the Earth and it's inhabitants (all the animals) so that God could test us with how we would exercise that dominion
