We did, but we ate meat for most of that time and most still do. The scale of humanity requires mechanisation of some sort. Most people won’t turn to plant based or lab grown unless they have no choice, unfortunately.

It’s only with industrialisation that people started eating meat with every meal, and as the article makes clear, that level of production requires a lot of resources. We need to find a more sustainable way to feed people.
