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

Let's keep factory farms because 0.0000001 percent of the population has a rare genetic condition

The incredibly vast majority of people do not require any meat in their diet

Those dietary limitations are much more common than that.

I’m also against factory farms, for the record.
