It's hard to survive in a healthy way for most of the world without eating animals unfortunately. Animals die in nature all the time, in much worse ways than the clean deaths they would get in a meat processing plant. Death is part of the cycle of life, and it seems we are forgetting that since we've become so far separated from nature these days.

Animals who live in nature might also live more fulfilling lives before they die than animals that live in the average meat processing plant.

That's a big call there buddy.

There is basically no plant based diet that can be made more healthy with the addition of animal products.

If there is let us know. You'll probably get a Nobel prize for the revelation

I suspect that here in "The West" with our immense choices and support, with food that comes from all over the world, with transportation networks that can get all that food into your kitchen within days of processing, any diet could be healthy.

But if you don't have all that infrastructure and support, if your region is overrun by locusts or warlords or gangs, then sticking to any "I'm only going to eat these categories" diet is impossible. You eat what you can get, and if you don't happen to have enough plant food today, eating meat (if available) is healthier than starving.
