> It’s amazing to me that as a society we’re so attached to animal protein that we’d rather farm bugs than just eat vegetables. I think we generally feel equally strong attachments to almost every facet of behavior that is deeply rooted in our evolutionary history. We're animals and we evolved to want to do certain behaviors. Birds want to fly, moles want to dig, lions want to hunt. If anything, we should be surprised that our society can remove us so far from the obvious fact of our animal nature that we consider these behaviors surprising. We're omnivores and meat is calorie dense. Of course we like eating it, just like we like exploring, sex, grooming each other, eating fresh fruit, etc. Apes gonna ape. That doesn't mean we have to do these things. But it should certainly be entirely unsurprising that we want to do them.
