> The unfortunate reality is that mankind as we know it, probably developed to the level it did, in part due to the consumption of meat. That's not a reason to continue, especially with climate change and the impact on nature. We have new challenges now. > Add to that, the growing evidence that much of the plant material we're eating may have inflammatory side effects of consumption. > The point I am making is that a solution isn't a solution if it means getting rid of one of the most dense forms of nutrition we have. You offer no proof there's a problem going meat-free and major health organisations say plant-based diets are healthy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veganism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veganism "Well-planned vegan diets are regarded as appropriate for all stages of life, including infancy and pregnancy, by the American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics,[f] Dietitians of Canada,[23] the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council,[24] New Zealand Ministry of Health,[25] Harvard Medical School,[26] and the British Dietetic Association.[27]" There's lots of examples of sports people, academics, musicians etc. who are on plant based diets too to prove the point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_vegans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_vegans
