I always find it funny when people use the ‘omnivore’ reasoning. Like it sets us in-line with all other animals in the food chain somehow. When was the last time you saw a living animal and thought: “god damn, I’d love to tear into that beast and eat it alive.”
Humans evolved to prepare meat in very specific ways: WE COOK IT (like 95% of the time unless you’re some kind of lunatic) We’re not like ANY other animal and trying to say ‘oh we eat meat AND plants so we’re omnivores and therefore we are intended to consume animals’ is ridiculous.
We originally ate animals because it provided tons of calories in primitive times. It gave us an edge and we got ahead. At this day in age there is absolutely no scientific justification for consuming animals (unless you have some kind of tragic health condition). Can you lose weight and lower your BP in the short term? Sure. But please keep this up for 10+ years and we’ll see how the body sustains itself.
- Arch-TK 5y ago>absolutely no scientific justification for consuming animals Given the state of nutrition science, I would also say there is no scientific justification for not consuming animals. Given historical precedent, eating cooked meat seems to have effectively taken fat (a very long digestive track) apes with small brains and turned them into bigger brained highly capable humans.
