Are you that misinformed? 
 

Real meat, grass fed is one of the most nutritious and healthiest foods you can eat. That’s not debatable, that’s truly a fact. 
 

However corn fed, processed meat is not nutritious and not good for you. 

I’m guessing meat eaters have an idea on how to mass produce this ethical, grass fed beef that’s totally healthy for a global population of 8 billion people?

No and if you think you're moving the needle with whatever it is you're doing, you're wrong   First world white people problems.

What we do individually to solve an issue at hand can vary greatly, but right now we’re in a thread discussing solutions to animal agriculture and assuaging the inherent climate concerns and animal abuse within it. Vegans as a collective have a solution (end animal agriculture) while meat eaters don’t have any collective solution. 

But this isn't going to happen

You said meat is impossible to be nutritious? 
 

My argument is what’s healthy and nutritious for the human body to be able to live as optimally as possible. Where do you get your Omega-3s if not from fatty fish for example? Something that helped develop our modern human brains into what it is today. All thanks to meat. 

 

I’m not talking about saving the world. That train has already passed with our growing population. 
 

Decrease consumption of unhealthy processed meat from the normal supermarket and instead opt for local butchers and farmers, if you have the privilege and finances for it.

Cooking food played a much larger role in developing human brains than meat, and Omega-3s are found in flax seeds, algae, walnuts, and can be supplemented if necessary.

So cooking food took us from being a Neanderthal to today’s modern human? Please it’s way more complex and I’d bet it’s largely from what we consumed which was meat and fish.

Sis what you are campaigning for is literal indoctrination. Let them find out on their own, it is already bad enough to have religion shoved down kids throats as soon as they are born. 

 

If you want to curb climate change, the meat industry is least of your worry. The metal, oil and plastic industry produce way more carbon emissions than the meat industry. Also, the problem is not just meat, it is literally industrial farming. The farming that also encompasses plants. Monocultures like the Almonds and Avocado producers literally are the reasons for water scarcity, creation of deserts and other unsustainability issues. So, unless you are practicing urban agriculture and not buying exported produce, you look hypocritical.

How is feeding kids meat NOT indoctrination? Veganism is a more moral lifestyle.

It should at the very least be taught in schools. I learned it in my freshman year AP Human Geography class, but I don't think it was a compulsory part of the curriculum and I wish I learned about it at an earlier age.
