If you're familiar with trophic levels, you would know it's literally impossible for a majority of the planet's population to be carnivorous. The population levels of species in one trophic level are limited by the population size of what they eat. Primary producers and herbivores must always outnumber omnivores and carnivores.
And when you look at the full breadth of the harms caused by humans eating animals, it clearly is an abnormal practice. Just because something is popular, doesn't mean it's normal. Doing something every day that is completely contrary to our own natures, our own wellbeing, the wellbeing of all the other intelligent beings we share this planet with, and the planet itself, is grotesque and strange in the extreme.
Homo sapien is traditionally an omnivore. GTFO with your “normal” and “contrary” arguments.
No, not really. Any ability we have to digest animal products comes at a sharp cost to our health. The majority of human evolutionary history skews more strongly toward plant-dominant lifestyles.

You are an idiot if you think Homo Sapien is naturally a vegan. We are omnivores. Look it up, learn, and STFU.
Dude, I'm not even going to keep engaging with you. Gotta be the most low effort troll I've seen in a while.
See this is the thing I'm pissed off about though... we don't get to eat the animals that are murdered.. a good extreme majority of us cannot fucking afford the meat that is on our grocery shelves... we're not eating animals... we can't afford to eat animals... they're just slaughtering animals to throw them in grocery store dumpsters.. it's not an 'us, problem.. ......so why the fuck are you yelling at us, when you should be yelling at The giant factory Farms and the governments who allow people to overslaughter these animals, put them on a shelf in a store, let it sit and rot while no one affords it, and then throws it into a dumpster at the end of the week.. why aren't you yelling at them?
Seriously I'm fucking sick of it and I'm fucking hungry.. all I eat is God damn potatoes and fucking rice and fucking peanut butter and I hate your stupid vegan food I'm starving and I fucking hate beans. I just want a fucking steak but I'm not allowed to cuz I can't afford it and it makes me a total fucking asshole I guess, to want to eat food.
What kind of rice? Plant based foods can be significantly less expensive than animal products if you get them in their whole food forms. Brown rice might be a little more effort to cook but it's a lot more filling and nutritious. and in general whole grains are going go be a lot more filling than refined sources.
Leafy greens are known to slow metabolism, so if you can include them they will help you feel satiated for longer, and help your body use your nutrients more efficiently.
If you're able to order anything online or find a grocery store that carries them, soy curls and tvp are bean-based meat alternatives that are extremely easy to cook. Prices on those vary though. Nutritional yeast is also great to have because it not only loads your food full of protein, but also adds a delicious cheesy/savory flavor. And it might not be the healthiest choice, but a big bag of msg is probably the least expensive way to give all your meals a good savory kick.
And try not to give up on beans. Out of all foods, beans are correlated with the longest lifespans. Try all different kinds, including lentils which are generally easier to cook. Few foods are less expensive than beans, so it's worth learning to love them.
Bro.... I can't afford to eat meat.... do you think I can afford your weird alternatives? Stop trying to tell me how to eat.
No! You know what, it's a new day.. I've been bullied into being stressed out by people like you for far too long this is a new type of social media and I'm going to block you and I'm going to enjoy it and then you'll never have to exist to me ever again that's great goodbye

B12 supplement and more tofu (lots of your favourite spices)
Quick reminder, you are having this rant in a thread about people who just want to torture animals....
