In some cases, because they believe you cannot harm any living things, but normally it isn't considered a sin because people eat meat, then when people die, bacteria breaks us down. If eating meat was a sin, then bacteria would be sinning and basically everyone would be sinning.

Catholic Answer

Eating meat on Fridays during Lent, and Ash Wednesday, if you are a Catholic and are 14 years of age or over is considered a sin because it is a required minimum penance that any Catholic should be gladly doing to discipline himself and honor Our Blessed Lord's Passion. In this case you would be breaking a commandment of the Church, which as the Body of Christ, speaks with His Voice.

Why isn't eating meat a sin?

To some it may be a sin to eat meat, to others it may not be. To some it's just a lifestyle choice not to eat meat, but they may not consider it to be a "sin". Unfortunately, meat (as far as I'm aware) is the only good natural source of vitamin B12, which is essential for good health. If meat contains essential vitamins that cannot be consumed for other non-meat sources, it is difficult to classify eating meat as a sin, as it is a "necessity". This seems the primary reason why it is difficult to classify meat-eating as a sin. However B12 is available in tablet form (and injection) so that no vegetarians have to compromise their health. Thus there is an argument that we should all go vegetarian to prevent global warming.
