Fr meat is the reason we have big brain.

Now if you wanna argue that we should have never left the trees and created civilization then you may have a point.

    The dose is the poison. Meat in the amount we consume today is unhealthy. In the past people didn't eat meat every day or even close to it.

    That doesn’t inherently make it unhealthy. We have the means to not have to eat the animals we slaughter immediately due to refrigeration.

    Processed meat is a Group 1 carcinogen. We should be treating it like we treat cigarettes.

    While that's true, some things are definitely worse than others.

    You can ignore them and smoke if you want. And if you're lucky, you'll still die of something that isn't caused by your smoking.

    Yes, but all these points were not mentioned by the user I’m responding to. He stated that our ancestors didn’t eat meat as frequently as we do now. That was his argument against red meat.
