eating meat is what made us modern humans.
I don't think this is a good argument. Likewise, modern Europe is mostly shaped by wars. Do you suggest we should continue with those as well?
As for meat, I don't eat much of it (less than once a month, I think). My main reason is that eating meat is bad for the planet. We have too many people, and meat has to be fed as well, which means that its footprint is huge compared to plants. There are poor countries where people are starving, that are growing corn which is sold to the rich countries as food for our cows. I feel quite uncomfortable supporting such a system.
