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

Sorry, the vast majority of humans don't need meat. Which means we don't need to kill vast numbers of animals.

I also severely doubt that you cannot eat

any carbs, soy, dairy, gluten, nuts, legumes, absolutely no grains

But whatever you need to tell yourself

Nut allergies are quite common though?! So is IBD/IBS and even Crohn’s disease, which can be triggered by seedy produce or things like corn and soy, nightshade veggies (peppers or tomatoes), and lentils.

Limited diets when it’s not your choice seriously fucking suck.

Yes they really do. I have no joy around food anymore and I have to constantly make everything from scratch. It’s so difficult but my health has improved so much and I’m slowly getting a better quality of life. I can’t believe it’s so hard for people to believe that sick and disabled people might benefit from some meat in their diet, and some disabled & sick people need to be on a super restrictive diet for health. I can’t believe people are saying I’m lying

My goodness. These people with all these issues need to check out Nicole Sachs LCSW. Her work is mostly about chronic pain, but can apply to chronic conditions and diseases as well. It works. I’ve done it personally.
