Food are being mass produced nowadays if meat was not designed to be consumed by humans then the meat, fish and poultry industries wouldn't be there, would they ? In this modern age food isn't about survival its cuisine.

Just because you can eat something, doesn't mean you should. Maybe horses do eat meat on occasion. If you give it, it'll probably eat it. If you give a dog a hamburger, chances are it'll also eat the bread, lettuce and tomatoes. If a horse is starving in the middle of a desert, and all there is, is a piece of meat, it'll eat it as a last resort, just like humans would eat anything in extreme situations. These scenarios don't make dogs herbivores, horses omnivores nor humans carnivores. I can eat plastic. Does that mean I should? Does that make me a plastivore?
Can we at least agree on this?
- Herbivores have canines
- What you should eat is primarily determined by your intestine, not by what you can and have put in your mouth.

This might be a weird argument but, if we didn't need to eat, why are there fruits?
Aside from that, I have read about people who supposedly do not eat or drink anything, and survive simply by solar energy, and some even without anything at all, like this guy. I would love that, since it gives freedom, not needing to drink or eat anything.. How much less worrysome our lives would be... But, I'm not certain that it is true, nor do I have any idea how to achieve such a thing if it were possible. So... Where does that leave me?
Edit:
Here's a link to the whole eating meat thing, why we have a certain type of acid that a lot of people claim is for meat while it isn't, and some other stuff.. Have fun.

Ah. But the things after the edit were in a general sense, not specifically for you. The ones before the edit, were.
In any case.. The reason why I gave that argument regarding fruits is, that I see that we are a part of nature, and fruits generally suit us very well. It seems as if the world has been designed in a way, that plants can provide food for other beings (including us), while at the same time the plant themselves can remain unharmed by consuming these fruits, and these beings that consume the fruit are actually helping the plants and their reproduction out, by spreading seeds around.
Also, I apologize, but I do not get what you mean in general. You're talking about control. Is this related to only eating meat, or eating anything? You say there's a conspiracy. Are you talking about keeping our energy levels down so our consciousness does not grow, so that we remain trapped in this physical reality, and that our negativity can be used as a source for other beings? Or are you talking about something else?
