It is critical for optimal human health that we eat large quantities of meat. Food is not fungible. Proteins are not fungible. Fats are not fungible. There are dozens of chemically and metabolically significant differences between what you get when you eat vegetables vs fruits vs bugs vs chicken vs beef. Protein uptake ratios, SFA/MUFA/PUFA ratios, indigestible protein (chitin etc.) ratios, etc. It is, quite simply, not feasible to maintain the standard of health and vitality that I personally require while eating vegetables (or bugs). > Is meat addictive like sugar? No, it's addictive like water. > Are meat and sugar so overwhelmingly pleasurable to us Sugar is pleasurable because it's an unnatural hyperstimulus that we aren't well-adapted for. Meat is pleasurable because it's one of the most nutritious possible foods for humans (perhaps second only to milk). It's not a hyperstimulus at all; your body is accurately reflecting its nutritional value.
