Human beings do not need to eat animal meat for their protein intake. There are other suitable sustenance in the world that can supply the human race with protein. Technically, human can survive off of vitamin and mineral pills, liquids, even coma patients are fed intravenously for years without chewing on a full meal.

The idea that we need animal meat is a want and not necessarily a need. It is a addiction and of the mind and if we are to move away from the environmental effects of the booming food production and commercial fishing, people need to realize that all we need to survive is the nutrients and not necessarily the commercialized farming aspect that we have been brain washed to accept.
