Hey essencial, thank you. I really appreciate your point of view.

In my eyes, food should be as natural as possible. The mass industry meat is as unnatural as the soy fake meat. We used to eat plants & meat. Not just one thing (what I see and understand)

If someone is able to care for, to kill & to process an animal, I don’t see a reason why they should not serve it to their family.

My grandma told me “it’s not easy to kill them but it is necessary.” As a farmer 60-70 years ago it was their daily business. My grandfather is the most gentle person around his goose gang the whole summer, he lets them eat fresh grass on a wide meadow, they living their best life. Nobody asking the gooses if they want to die, sure, but they will be the reason we’re able to stay alive. And for someone else it’s the necessary food he needs in order to do his labor intense work.

The main reason why meat is so popular, is that it provides lots of nutrition in just a few bites. It’s efficient. Perfect in a world where nobody got time.

In my eyes, it’s not fair that we use more and more machines to kill them, that we give the responsibility to a non thinking, non feeling machine. We already gave the responsibility to supermarkets, people don’t care where it’s coming from.

So in today’s world, it is an absolute horror that our fake interests lead to this unethical mass industry. But in a more fair world, (and I love how I always end up at this point in every discussion! Bitcoin is sooo helpful) we probably wouldn’t even care what others are eating. Because you actually deserve what you get.

Natural is the magical word in my eyes. The world is too unnatural and it will make humanity unconscious and sick. We are already there.

Appreciate your way of living💚, it’s a true inspiration. Because I sure have my doubts with getting enough nutrition, living plant based. But simply because I don’t find the time to eat in general (due to personal stress mainly). Sucks. But I’m on a good way.

If I will ever kill an animal again, I would have my personal important reasons. And I would really deserve the meat. But I’m also fine with just looking at them and being stunned by their bare existence. 💚

Sorry to break this for you, but your digestive system is not that of a herbivore.

You don't have a multi-chamber stomach, you dont have a fully flattened dentition, you don't have a gap between you incisives and your molars to help with the grinding of vegetable fibers, you are not bringing your half-digested food from your stomach to your mouth to chew on it again, you lack several meters of intestines for processing leaf and other vegetable materials, and your gut microbiota is not adapted to process only vegetables. You have a digestive system designed to follow a omnivorous diet, everything in your body points towards that.

When you look throughout human evolution, brain size increases are highly correlated with an increase in animal protein consumption. Since protohumans abandoned a fruit based diet, with sporadic supplements of insects and other animal proteins, the animal content of the diet kept increasing right until ~10K years ago. Then, it quickly shifted to grain based diets. This shift has been so sudden that our bodies are not properly adapted to the high amounts of carbohydrates we consume nowadays. Artificial selection of high cabrs content plants, and a less active life have enhanced the detrimental effects this swift change has.

So, if you follow the millions of years of evolution your body tells, you should have a omnivorous diet with high levels of animal protein, supplemented vegetables, out of which only fruit should be high carbs.

If you don't want to follow that diet based on some cow hugging beliefs, fine. But don't bullshit yourself telling you that your body is something it isn't.
