In 2017(latest data I could find), the US was topping the world's charts on meat consumption per capita.

There is something at least noteworthy about that. The average american eats 40% more meat than the average EU citizen.

Not everything can be so easily brushed away under the guise of human nature.

Fair enough, but nothing about eating 50kg of meat per person per year suggests not treating it as primary or essential.
