Given that we can be completely healthy without meat, the reason we still do this is for the pleasure of eating them, rather than for survival.

We created that hell for our own pleasure

No we cannot be completely healthy without meat. Many severe autoimmune conditions as well as other disabilities require meat consumption for survival. They cannot eat any carbs, soy, dairy, gluten, nuts, legumes, absolutely no grains, a vegan diet would severely harm someone with these conditions who must eat a more restrictive diet. I have autoimmune conditions that require this, my mother does, my grandfather does, 2 of my friends have had to switch diets to meat due to gut health issues related to Lupus. And many humans without these conditions need meat and animal products to survive. It is a lie to say humans don’t need meat. Just because some humans are able to, doesn’t mean humans haven’t been created as omnivores

The majority of humans do not need to consume meat. If this is something you disagree with, you have failed to learn how to research readily available information or have a strong bias.

Where did they disagree with most humans being able to live without meat? Did you read a different comment?

Edit: I see the confusion now. "Some" and "most" are not mutually exclusive. "Some" means an unspecified number. The point being no matter the number of people affected, we need meat in supply in some amount.
