    I agree with basically everything you’re saying if I understand it correctly, other than “The option to not eat meat in terms of human history is basically brand new” which is easily disputed by Buddhism being over 2500 years old.

      I was aware of Buddhism’s age when I made that statement. Anatomically modern humans have existed for 300,000 years. Buddhism has been around for about 0.8% of human history. I stand by my statement.
