Yea, he lost me immediately with that. probably not a good place for him to start his talk if he is trying to convince anyone that doesn't already "believe".
The bottom line is human, like most mammals, are omnivores and we evolved to eat meat and vegetables. We could "choose" to live off one or the other but it is not in our nature to do so. Frankly, to me the whole drive to create "non-meat" meat just points to that fact. It's great that they've come up with some of this processed foods (and that is exactly what it is) and some of it is actually good, but it just seems disingenuous to me to say we should all be vegans but we really need this stuff that tastes like the backside of a cow to do that.
