We eat way more meat/dairy than our ancestors did (after we switched to farming, because we killed off most of the megafauna).

- matheusmoreira 4y agoIt's got nothing to do with "copying" developed nations, though. We're simply becoming rich enough to afford it. Eating meat every day used to be prohibitively expensive. That's changed.
- myshpa 4y agoIt's cheap because we destroy nature in the process, and those externalities are not priced in ... in fact, most of the meat/dairy production is heavily subsidized. It's affordable, yes. But it's not sustainable.
