Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural"

  Evolution is on a long scale, we have a lot longer as vegans than we do eating any meat to speak of outside insects and scavenging. Only a blink of an eye hunting our own meat to a large extent, a small fraction of a million years, compared to millions, and tens of millions, vegan ish.

  Longer when you include like passive meat eating, like shellfish, which is what people were thought to be following as they colonized the middle east and asia.

    if your argument is that we were herbivores longer than omnivores I’ve got some news for you. we ate planktons for alot longer than plants, mostly because plants didn’t even exist for millions of years.

    so by your logic we should be eating phytoplanktons instead of plants and animals.

    you can’t just dismiss millions of years of evolution on a whim based entirely on an emotional reaction.

    be vegan all you want, but it doesn’t change the fact that you are an omnivore.

      Not millions though, tens of thousands eating meat, millions eating mostly vegan. I’m not a vegan btw don’t have a dog in this fight.

        “mostly vegan” meaning “omnivore”.
