There is so much debate on this subject. But why on earth did humans eat meat in the first place?

We ate it to survive! Surely everyone knows this… it was logical and intentional. We also survived off other animal products like dairy, eggs, manure for soil richness and leather for clothes.

We ate meat because it tastes good, and it tastes good because our bodies know it is a highly dense source of protein and nutrients with some healthy fats.
