Back then we hunted or scavenged.

Those non-human animals we hunted were living freely and we lived in more harmony with the natural world.

Now we breed, torture and kill millions and millions of non-human animals and in the process destroy our biosphere [0]

We can live perfectly healthy on a plant-based diet - see the Physicians Committee of Responsible Medicine: https://www.pcrm.org/good-nutrition

We have the brains & technology to create food that is healthy and nutritious without having to continue to support the destructive and cruel factory farm industry.

So the question should be how come we accept this immense cruelty and destruction caused by the factory farm industry?
