Just as feeding a carnivore a vegatarian diet is cruel, you are
disrespecting yourself by eating a diet that is not healthy.

It is not possible for a human to survive on a vegatarian diet without
technological intervention.  Not enough high denisity vegatable food is
available year-round to support such a diet anywhere on earth.  Perhaps you
should respect Nature a little more and pay less heed to "suffering is Good"
theologies.
