and after eating all 80.000 you'll still be hungry and feeling a bit weak...
face it, humans are omnivore we will always need both to thrive, balance is key
Meat is not essential for human diet. However, many of the nutrients found in meat are essential for our health. Protein, iron, and B vitamins are just some of the nutrients found in meats. Meat provides our bodies with proteins, vitamins, and minerals that are necessary for proper muscle and organ function.
Sure there is a pill for everything but its the same as getting a IV with fluids instead of drinking. You will still be thirsty... again finding balance is the key, not every meal requires meat.
These nutrients are found in non meat sources as well. Meat doesn't carry anything unique besides B12 because we wash the fuck out of our vegetables. Plant based diets make it pretty difficult to miss nutrients unless you're just sitting around eating oreos all day.
