Acharya Prashant challenges the common belief that human ancestors were primarily meat-eaters, arguing that catching wild animals like chickens or deer without tools would have been nearly impossible. He points out that the human body is naturally better suited for consuming fruits, flowers, and leaves, which are stationary and accessible. He explains that the current scale of widespread meat consumption is a recent phenomenon of the last century, driven by industrialization, animal agriculture, and the spread of the myth that meat is the essential source of protein. This modern shift has led to severe environmental consequences that the world is now forced to endure. Addressing the concept of humane treatment or humane slaughter, Acharya Prashant describes these terms as attempts to satisfy human morality while continuing to indulge in animalistic tendencies. He compares the focus on humane killing methods to debating the amount of compensation for a crime rather than questioning the crime itself. The real issue, he asserts, is not the size of the cage or the method of execution, but the fundamental question of why the animal is being killed at all. He argues that focusing on the treatment of animals before slaughter is a way to avoid the core ethical dilemma of unnecessary killing. He further refutes the argument that meat-eating is a matter of personal choice. Comparing it to a vehicle emitting toxic smoke, he explains that because meat consumption has a massive carbon footprint and contributes significantly to global warming, it affects everyone on the planet. Therefore, it is not a private matter but a global concern that warrants intervention. Finally, he dismisses the evolutionary argument that meat-eating helped humans evolve, stating that even if it served a purpose in the past, it is now a destructive habit that threatens the survival of the Earth and must be abandoned.
