This is not a valid argument. We literally evolved to use tools. And humans absolutely can eat raw meat

Maybe we evolved to use our brains to make and use tools. Maybe we're currently evolving to use our brains to eat fewer animals.
Our ancestors fought their way to the top of the food chain over millions of years. It just feels wrong and ungrateful to eat a purely plant based diet. Like I’m betraying my own species.
I wouldn’t mind eating a vegan diet if there was a way to compensate. We could, for example, have a system where for every vegan meal sold someone strangles a small rodent.
Be the change you want to see in the world. Get some feeder rats from the snake store and rip ones head off with every meal. Bonus points for using teeths.
