Evolution doesn't have a purpose. Just because you can eat meat doesn't mean you have to, or that you should. You can have a meat-free, protein-heavy diet. Most of meat products are so processed that they are indistinguishable from plant-based substitutes anyway. If you try an Impossible Burger without knowing it's plant-based, you wouldn't notice it's not meat. Beside, are you seriously denying anthropic climate change?

Even if evolution doesn't have a purpose it's pretty clear that meat consumption has been a boost to human evolution. Also I wonder what kind of meat products you are eating?! If I buy and prepare a steak or some other raw meat it's pretty clearly meat. I also tried vegan sausages and stuff multiple times because of some friends. I NEVER could confuse it for meat.. so forgive me but this argument is totally invalid for me.

  Just because something happened in the past and resulted in some benefits doesn’t necessarily mean we have to continue it. For example, the two world wars and their impacts also helped accelerate technological progress to a great degree, but I’m sure nobody would argue that we need more of them. In our current times, and in this century, we’ll have better alternatives that help humankind (if people accept them). Meat will not be a necessity for those living in a globalized world.

>If you try an Impossible Burger without knowing it's plant-based, you wouldn't notice it's not meat. Bullshit. My mother has tried to pass that product as a hamburger and in a single bite I spat it out and asked her what the hell was wrong with the burger - it has a very un-burger-like aftertaste. I'm 99% sure people who think the "tastes like meat!" replacements taste like meat have damaged or weak taste buds and literally don't know what meat actually tastes like to many people. Like how a red/green color-blind person wouldn't know what red/green actually look like for most people.
