Look at my teeth! I am a carnivorous HUNTER! I stalk the dangerous plains of… Albertsons… with a sharp knife I forged? bought! at Wal-Mart so I can run drive home and enjoy memes. Eating meat is my natural state!
Humans are omnivores by default and we’re not even that good apparently at digesting grains or beans. Tell me more about how veganism is your natural state.
Oh it’s not. But I feel like you are missing my point by assuming I think it is? As a concept, what is “natural” to humans is overrated, meaningless and not worth striving for. Both of us wear shoes, most people wear glasses and the majority of us travel by car. None of that is “natural”, but if you are gonna cite that as a reason to eat meat then why not also go walk through the woods barefoot for your food as well? Nothing abiut our modern medicine system is natural, traveling to the moon isn’t natural, heck the two of us talking over the internet isn’t natural. Very little of our lives are so, why should this be a metric to care about?

Say whatever you like about digesting grains, not only do you definitely still eat beans and bread. But if you want to look at the science, there is strong evidence that veganism correlated to longer life, less disease and increased overall health while meat is a known carcinogen. And this totally ignored the environmental and ethical reasons for veganism, but at the end of the day I’m way more concerned about scientific data than something as nebulous as “natural”.
