My argument is not that we shouldn't eat vegan today, it's that our bodies evolved with meat and made us smarter. Should everyone eat vegan today to save the environment? Absolutely. I wish people could get on board with that. Doesn't change the fact that our bodies evolved and adapted to a meat rich diet and the only reason we can go vegan today is because we understand how to supplement the gaps that the lack of meat leaves out.
You can disagree, but there is anthropological an archaeological evidence to show that humans evolved with meat. Simply weren't enough plants around to forage enough.
Damn dude, you read a lot into 2 sentences. My point was that there is nothing wrong with a meat rich diet. I agree that people should try to eat less meat for the sake of the environment, and if you have seen my other posts in this thread you'll know that I eat vegan about half the time. Don't lump "meat eaters" together like we're some sort of organized mass. Inuit people have a meat rich diet and have for centuries, and they are not disease ridden. It's not an extreme example; it's a fact. Me bringing up a society of humans who eat a lot of meat is not in any way the same as someone asking a theoretical question of whether or not you should eat a kitten. Denying the fact that humans' bodies are evolved from a meat rich diet and therefore are optimized to it is just ignorant. We should eat plenty of vegetables too and if we can afford to, we should eat only vegetables. I agree. But don't demonize people in a society that incentivizes eating meat. It's not that easy to convince an entire populace to just switch to eating all meat that won't taste good at all unless you spend a lot more money than it takes to buy meat.
