I think that if you made your main character a vegetarian, that would NOT be tokenism. That should be enough to satisfy your friends. All other characters can be meat eaters, but you're setting them apart as "villains" as against your hero.

Tokenism would be when a minor, and eminently forgettable character has the desired qualities. In such a situation someone's "vegetarianim" would be trivial to the plot. That would not be the case if the vegetarian were the main character.
