From the health aspect we haven't evolved 2M+ years of factory farming that involves heavy doses of antibiotics for instance. In addition, historically meat was not nearly as big a share of human's diets as it typically is today --it essentially was a luxury good

That is some colossal bullshit right there: Homo sapiens evolution is in fact tied to great amounts of cooked meat consumption. No big brain without that.

Flying fallacies! Sure there is evidence that brain evolution is correlated with the adoption of meat in our diet. It was an expedient way to get more protein. Does that mean we should continue to eat that way when we have other sources of plant proteins (e.g. nuts and legumes)?

Again just because something has been prevalent in the past doesn't imply that it is the most expedient to our future evolution. That type of logic would literally keep us in the stone age....

In fact your entire argument is built on foundations of faux-morality and then topped with pseudo science. Why should we be eating something that has an ingredient list long as as that of some industrial paint, and has MORE environmental impact than the original?

Also: no answer about the "poor animals" who maybe want to stay alive, even if they end their lives as food AS WOULD HAPPEN IN THE WILD, instead of being eradicated?

Honestly I'm getting tired of responding to such belligerence and just general non-respect. I'll leave you with what I consider to be good refs on the ethical args -- pgs 91-97 of Sapiens by Harrari and the Animal Ethics Reader (both pro and con args) https://smile.amazon.com/Animal-Ethics-Reader-Susan-Armstrong/dp/0415775396?sa-no-redirect=1 …

I block anyone who cites Harari as a reference for anything. Worse than Pinker. Gabish?
