some history of food

Here's a refined version with a streetwise tone that still respects the sacred theme of non-harm:


Ohhh nooo! Here we go again—another judgy vegan preaching that eating meat makes you evil. Nah, let’s keep it real and stick to the facts.

You were designed by nature as an omnivore, plain and simple. That means we have the freedom to choose what we eat, day by day. Back in the day, hunting made sense because it was based on what our tribe knew about the land. Some places weren’t lush with edible plants, and farming wasn’t always reliable. Growing food took time, effort, and teamwork, and even then, nature didn’t guarantee a successful harvest.

Catching bugs, trapping small animals—yeah, that was easy. But growing enough high-calorie crops? That was a whole different struggle. Sending the strongest hunters out for days at a time came with major risks—injuries, predators, rival tribes, brutal landscapes. It wasn’t some easy meal ticket.

But here’s the real deal: nature designed us for warm climates, just like our closest primate relatives. That means we were built to be surrounded by naturally growing fruits and fiber-rich plants. Nature gave us energy-packed foods like avocados, nuts, coconuts, seeds, and olives. Protein? It’s in greens like spinach, kale, and broccoli, plus nuts, seeds, quinoa, and oats. Fruits—ignored by most predators—were our best source of fast energy, vitamins, and powerful antioxidants. Minerals came from the plants we ate—or from the flesh of animals that had already absorbed them from the earth.

This is our biological history, coded into our DNA. But in the last 3,500 years, humans started bending nature’s rules—refining sugar, brewing alcohol, and mass-producing food in unnatural ways. We got real slick with farming, cramming livestock into factory settings for milk, eggs, and meat. We took way more than we needed. We didn’t just hunt; we wiped out entire species.

Look at the oceans—ripped apart by overfishing. We drag massive nets through the sea, killing not just fish but sharks, turtles, and countless marine creatures that die for nothing. The problem? We don’t see it. We’re disconnected. The average person buying seafood doesn’t picture the millions of dead creatures sinking to the ocean floor.

We hunted whales to extinction. We raise and kill animals just to wear their skins for luxury and status. And yeah, it’s legal. Society gives us the right to do it. Most people don’t have to get their hands dirty—slaughterhouses do the killing, and all we see is the handbag, the fur coat, or the steak on the plate.

But here’s the thing: we have a choice. Always have. Always will.

Today, we’ve got technology that lets us make clothing, shoes, and accessories without harming animals. We’ve got access to all kinds of plant-based foods that make it easy to feel full and strong. And if a nutrient isn’t available from plants, guess what? The human body doesn’t need it.

Some will argue we need Vitamin K2 or collagen—sure, but not in the amounts people think. There are plant-based sources, and more importantly, we need way more carbs from fruits and starchy vegetables than people realize. Skipping out on the nutrients from fruits and veggies? That’s how you end up struggling with hormones, energy, and health in this polluted, chaotic modern world.

At the end of the day, you don’t have to be vegan to respect the planet and question the system. Just be aware. Be conscious of what’s on your plate and where it came from. You have the power to choose—just don’t let the system choose for you.
