Genuine question.. how did you go from “Personally I don’t like a thing” therefore “humans evolved to eat meat”

Personally I don’t like peaches… does that mean humans evolved to eat meat?

Honestly it sounds like you tried 1 product, didn’t like it and used that to reinforce a totally separate worldview that you already wanted to believe and reinforce.

I don’t like beyond meat either, I agree it tastes funny, but personally that doesn’t make me feel like the only other alternative is to eat a cow.. I can just eat something else.

On the topic: There is a good metabolic theory which hypothesise that our improved brain abilities come from adapting from a mostly vegetarian diet to a meat based fat rich diet.

Of course we evolved to eat meat. Just look at your teeth.

Meat is nutritionally superior to plants. Humans do not process cellulose easily. It takes far more plants to equal the nutritional content of meat. I tried Beyond Meat as an experiment but it tastes awful. Real meat is better.

All of that can be true (I’m not saying it is) yet it still doesn’t matter.

I am perfectly healthy guy who doesn’t eat meat and doesn’t need to.
