* Fact : Finally -- and by far most importantly , even if it were natural for humans to kill animals ( which it clearly isn ' t ), just because something is " natural " and we can do it , does not mean it is a choice worthy of support or that we should do so ... Indeed – murder , rape , slavery and cannibalism are all human practices that are actually older than hunting , and thus even more " natural " than eating animals , and yet we do not invoke their brutal history to justify their continuance today . And why not ? Well , primarily because they are cruel & primitive & unnecessarily violent & patently immoral ...
... just like killing animals for food .
Current status of this Myth : Clarified ( and Crushed ) Justification it provides for eating animals : NONE
" The question of whether a vegan diet is the most natural or the healthiest is essentially irrelevant . I frankly don ' t care what our ancestors ate thousands – or even hundreds – of years ago . It ' s 2015 now and we know for a fact that we do not need to eat meat , dairy or eggs to survive & thrive . Choosing to take the life of another sentient being when we have no biological need to do so is selfish at best , immoral at standard , and downright evil at worst ." ~ inspired by Gary Smith
