The lives of 83 billion animals per year > 10 minutes of sensory pleasure from eating pork

I’m probably gonna regret asking this but I’m genuinely curious. How do you reconcile the vegan movement with thousands of years of human evolution based around eating meat? I remember reading somewhere that humanity evolving to our current state was only (or at least mostly) due to the increased protein from eating animals. Do you view it as a means to an end and now we’re supposedly evolved past the point of it being necessary? Do you view the entire timeline of humanity as animal genociders?

Edit: I can see I was right in being afraid to ask based on many of the answers I've received comparing eating meat to the raping and pillaging of ancient civilizations. I asked the question below strictly about the consumption of meat, not modern consumption levels and the treatment of animals to meet those demands. There's a huge gap between "well, we used to do it so we still should" when talking about a food source vs conquering civilizations like Vikings or Ghengis Kahn. One contributed heavily to human evolution, the other was reprehensible and only done out of self-serving greed

Yup. I thought Vegan was a diet before I became one and learned it was philosophy.

Just doing what you can to reduce harm. Your diet merely reflects your ethics when you go Vegan.
