It's interesting to hear your thoughts on this, so I'm glad you posted them. :)
Have you ever read Fast Food Nation? It has a different angle on things - it's about more than not killing animals - but I found it really interesting in an overall health perspective.
Since I've been sick and trying to rebuild my body so it can learn how to process food again, I have become acutely aware of healthy vs. non-healthy food, whether vegan or not. And it is crazy that it's so abundant in this society. I've always been a vegetarian, but now that I've been vegan minus wheat/gluten and sugar, it's been even more eye-opening for me to try to find foods without chemicals and strange additives.
Well, that was my little tangent - related to what you were saying but not directly. ;)
