the meat industry put out decades of propaganda during the great depression & world wars to convince the western world to buy meat & dairy. truth is, humans have lived off plant based diets for millennia. ending factory farming is one of the easiest ways to combat climate change & corporations

Most people have consumed animal proteins the catch is they weren't eating a lot meat regularly. One of my ancestors was upper middle class when he migrated to the USA and founded a small city. His journal talks about his meals and as a wealthy person with a dairy farm he still mostly had stew and rarely ate steak. He wasn't eating animals all the time and that was 1840-80s. We need to go back to a time when eating a whole chicken among a family of four in a single meal almost never happened IF we continue farming animals which as you noted is a climate change nightmare.

FYI that study has been successfully debunked shortly after it was written.
There are more recent claims of doubt against more meat = large brain though.
The fact still is that both meat and animal milk were a huge impact in early homo life.
It's entirely possible that our capacity of language and advanced learning stems from non dietary sources.
